Mesut Ozil has today been linked with a move from Arsenal to Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Nassr and although the player wants to stay at the Emirates Stadium, supporters have been reacting on Twitter.

The 31-year-old was the subject of a £5 million bid from Al-Nassr who were keen to sign the World Cup-winning attacking midfielder.

Ozil hasn’t played since March and hasn’t been included in a matchday squad by boss Mikel Arteta so far this season.

The Gunners supporters are a fanbase divided over the 92-cap international player and this latest news isn’t showing any signs of changing such a trend.

Despite the fact he hasn’t played any football since the start of the year, there is still enough to suggest that Ozil has a job to do for someone.

The one stumbling block, however, is the astronomical £350,000-a-week that the Gunners currently pay him in the way of a salary.

That has clearly put off plenty of European suitors and the Saudi Arabians were hoping to take advantage.

It doesn’t look as though Ozil will be moving anywhere, at least until January, and the club’s supporters have been on Twitter responding to that possibility.

Here is a selection of Tweets from the Arsenal supporters as Ozil is the subject of a £5 million bid.
