Former Arsenal defender, Martin Keown, has claimed that Mesut Ozil is so keen on quitting Arsenal, that he has already “mentally left the football club”.
Ozil has been linked with a move to Manchester United among others next summer, as he nears the end of his contract at the Emirates.
“I think he’s testing Wenger more than any other player has. I think it was Belarus the other week, he didn’t fancy going. He didn’t want to go.
“Suddenly he was injured again, he played nine minutes against West Bromwich Albion on the Monday, so how did he get injured there?
“I think in some departments he’s already left. Psychologically, mentally, he’s already left the football club. Maybe Wenger is now trying to do the best deal he can to get some compensation for him,” Keown told BBC Radio 5 Live.
