"Also, two names that will come up in the #dcu rumor mill as possible January transfers: Mario Balotelli and Mesut Ozil," Goff tweeted.
"Doesn't mean one or the other is on the way, but there has been contact between the sides. Save that for the next #sillyseason.
"One of Ozil's reps will meet with DCU officials next week in Washington, I'm told."
Potential Wayne Rooney replacement Ozil has been a divisive figure in north London due to his hit-and-miss form under Unai Emery and his predecessor Arsene Wenger.

He signed a mega £350,000-a-week contract extension last January, which will tie him to Arsenal until 2021.
But his failure to live up to that investment has seen him criticised by fans and shunned by Emery at times.
Ozil was the target of an attempted carjacking incident last month, which saw him miss a couple of pre-season fixtures.
He is in line to start on Saturday when Arsenal kick off the new Premier League campaign by travelling to Newcastle.

Arsenal: Dani Ceballos could threaten Mesut Ozil claims pundit
Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn believes, though, that the arrival of Dani Ceballos could spell bad news for Ozil.
"I love watching Ozil play when he’s at his very best but last season he wasn’t influential in the team and I’m not sure what was really going on,” Winterburn said.
"This season we will find out very quickly because Ceballos has come in who is a similar kind of player.
"[Ozil] is a terrific player to watch but when we get caught out defensively his enthusiasm to get back is questioned.
"That’s why perhaps we need to get him on the ball more in attacking areas but we’re not Manchester City or Liverpool who can dominate the ball a lot."
