News on Transfers: "Mesut Ozil has all the power at Arsenal & # 39; – Parlor Ray says it's hard to see a buyer make a lot of money

According to Ray Parlor, Mesut Ozil has "all the power" at Arsenal, and it's hard to see how Unai Emery will be able to find a buyer for a player tied to a lucrative contract.

The Gunners offered new conditions to their midfielder who won the World Cup in February 2018.

This agreement was concluded with the aim of preventing an essential creative influence from falling into the pool of free agents, the German being considered an important part of future projects.

Ozil has, however, lost his favor since Emery succeeded Arsene Wenger at Emirates Stadium and was regularly questioned about his future.

It has been suggested that Arsenal would seek to replace him in the next transfer slot, but Parlor thinks it will be tricky to ensure that the 30-year-old surrenders his current contract.

The former star of the Gunners said Express Sport"Everyone is scratching their heads, wondering what's going to happen with him.

"I do not know, but the number of games he will play by the end of the season will be reduced.

"The problem you will always have is that he has all the power, the player.

"He has two years of contract, he gets a big salary, and what other club will pay for it?

"I do not think that another will do it unless you go to China.

"Should they reduce their losses and let him go, otherwise the player may want to accept a pay cut and leave.

"I really do not know what they are going to do. It's a real headache for the club and it's not good for the player, so you have to sort it out. "

Dr. Erkut Sogut, Ozil's agent, told Goal in January, his client does not intend to leave North London any time soon.

"I would prefer not to speak publicly about Mesut's situation, but given the recent speculation linking him to the idea of ​​moving away from Arsenal, I think it's important to clarify certain points so that we can put an end to these activities and focus on football.

"Mesut signed a new contract last January because he was seeing his future at Arsenal and nothing had changed in his mind. He wants to stay for the duration of this contract and maybe even longer.

"Mesut is 100% committed to the Arsenal football club. He loves the club, shares his values ​​and does not want to be anywhere else.

"He is proud to wear the jersey and honored to represent Arsenal on and off the pitch, taking his responsibilities – including being selected as captain this season – very seriously and maintaining excellent relationships with his teammates. and the fans. "
