Arsenal 'ready to sell Mesut Ozil after giving up on new deal'

Arsenal are reportedly actively looking for a buyer for Mesut Ozil after accepting that the midfielder will not sign a new contract.

The German World Cup winner will be free to leave the Emirates at the end of the season, when his current deal is due to expire.

However, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger recently admitted that Ozil and Alexis Sanchez, who is in the same contract situation, could be sold in January, which means that the club would receive a fee.

According to The Mirror, the Gunners are looking for a club to take on Ozil, whose camp have been demanding £350,000-a-week wages from the North London club.

The report claims that club officials are growing frustrated with the player's attitude and performances, which have come under scrutiny many times during his four-year career at Arsenal.

Inter Milan have been linked to the former Real Madrid star, but widespread interest was reportedly lacking in the summer.
