Former Arsenal striker, Kevin Campbell, has urged the club to sort out a number of players’ future, including that of German international, Mesut Ozil.

The former Real Madrid man has been shunted down the pecking order for the Gunners, with Mikel Arteta opting to go for other players ahead of the German.

Ozil is one of the top earners at The Emirates and his future has been a long-standing point of discussion among pundits and Gunners fans.

And Campbell, who was speaking on Youtube channel, Stadium Astro, urged his former club to move Ozil on if they can.

“The elephant in the room is Mesut Ozil. He doesn’t need to do anything, he’s got a year left on his contract and he says he’s staying, so whatever business they can do – if they can do any business to get him out, fine – if not, that’s a millstone around your neck to deal with.”

Campbell also touched on the futures of players like Callum Chambers, Rob Holding, and Sead Kolasinac in his comments, while he also spoke about what the future might hold for Matteo Guendouzi.

Like Ozil, Guendouzi has been frozen out somewhat by Arteta.

As talented and as brilliant as Ozil can be on his day, at the moment it just seems to be something that is holding the club back a bit.

If Arteta is serious about the squad overhaul he is wanting to oversee, then Ozil is a player who needs moving out of the club, if anything, simply to save a massive wage.

Ozil has had a good Arsenal career overall. It would be a shame to see it end in a sour way so a move agreed between all parties will probably suit everyone for now.
