Mesut Ozil - 5 things you need to know
Recent reports had suggested that the German penned a bumper contract extension that will see him stay at the Emirates well beyond 2018.
Ozil, who was part of the Gunners side that beat Basle 2-0 in the Champions League last night, has been instrumental in the past couple of seasons.
However, according to German paper Sport Bild, Ozil is hoping for a return to Real Madrid.
Real sold Ozil to Arsenal for £42.5m three years ago.
The report suggests the whole saga surrounding his future at Arsenal has given him food for thought.
It is believed Real would be one of the only realistic options for Ozil, as Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is not a fan of his.
Mesut Ozil has yet to sign a new deal with Arsenal
Paris Saint-Germain in the meantime, the report suggests, wouldn’t appeal to Ozil as the French league might not be competitive enough for him.
Reports had suggested that Ozil’s new deal would see him rake in the money, although these claims might be premature.
Ozil will be looking to continue his good form away to Burnley on Sunday (4:30pm).
