Mesut Ozil ready to sign £280,000-a-week contract to remain at the Emirates

The German playmaker, whose contract runs out next year, has been offered a £280,000-a-week salary to remain at the Emirates.

Ozil was holding out for £350,000 A WEEK, but he is prepared to cut a deal this summer with the Gunners.

The former Real Madrid star does not have a serious offer from another major club.

And boss Arsene Wenger is now hopeful Ozil, 28, who cost £42.5million from Real Madrid four years ago, will stay on a new long-term deal.
