Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil will remain at the Emirates this summer amid speculation regarding his future, according to the player's agent.

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil is set to stay put at the Emirates this summer, according to the player's agent.

Ozil's future has been a major talking point throughout the past couple of years, with Turkish side Fenerbahce said to be the midfielder's first-choice destination should he part ways with the Gunners.

However, the German has enjoyed a longer spell in the starting lineup since Mikel Arteta took charge, and Ozil's agent Erkut Sogut has revealed that the playmaker will make a decision on his future next year.

Speaking to beIN Sport, Sogut said: "Mesut has a one-year contract. There will be no change in this regard. So what happens next, time will show.

"Mesut will be 32 years old and will have a few more years in his career. Mesut and his family will make a decision. It will be the best of all.

"I cannot speak about Mesut and Fenerbahce because I have no right to speak on this matter according to the principle of confidentiality."

Since arriving from Real Madrid in 2013, Ozil has notched up 44 goals from 254 appearances across all competitions for the Gunners.
