Mesut Ozil has reiterated that he has no plans to leave Arsenal this summer.

The former Germany international endured a mixed first season under the management of Arsene Wenger’s successor Unai Emery.

The World Cup winner initially appeared to be out of favour under the Spanish head coach before fighting his way back into first-team contention.

Ozil has started nine of the north London side’s games in all competitions since the start of April.

The 30-year-old helped the Gunners to secure their place in the Europa League final following a 7-3 aggregate victory over Valencia in the semi-finals.

The former Real Madrid playmaker has netted has netted six goals and has made three assists in 33 games in all competitions this term.

Ozil has been regularly linked with a potential exit in the summer transfer window due to his uncertain future under Emery.

However, the Arsenal star has made it clear that he is planning to remain at the north London side beyond the summer.

“I don’t think there’s a chance of that to be honest,” Ozil told DAZN Dach, as quoted by Goal.

“I’ve got two more years here and what happens afterwards is not in my hands. We’ll see then, but I’m proud to be at this club and really happy at this club.”

Ozil signed a new long-term contract at The Emirates outfit back in February 2018.

The German star has won three FA Cup titles but the former club record signing has failed to fire Arsenal to Champions League or Premier League glory.

Arsenal finished in fifth place in the Premier League table this season.
