Guillem Balague says Arsenal will not sell Mesut Ozil only in one condition

During the transfer window there where several reports claiming that Mesut Ozil could leave Arsenal as the German midfielder has struggled to get a regular playing time since Unai Emery took over the Gunners. According to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, Arsenal will look to sell Mesut Ozil unless they can convince him to adapt his game and work harder for the team. (via DailyStar) “In the case of Ozil, absolutely different situation in terms of Arsenal don’t want to link it to anything else,” he said on the Guillem Balague Transfer Show. “Ozil has to decide, if he wants to be at Arsenal he knows what he has to do so he’s got to decide if he wants to do that. “And if he doesn’t want to do that, and there’s a lot of things that have to do with his position like the work he has to do off the ball. “If he doesn’t want to do that then of course he won’t be good enough for Arsenal and Arsenal will sell. “But they’re still in the process of trying to convince him. Right now what we’re seeing is an Ozil who is not reacting to those inputs from the manager and if he doesn’t it’s up to him. “He has to be professional, he has to demand more of himself. He was given the opportunity earlier in the season to make a claim for the line-up. Now he’s far away from that and everybody’s waiting for Ozil to respond. “Those stories about a swap with Isco and Ozil, (Ivan) Perisic and Ozil, James Rodriguez and Ozil, have never been true. And right now it’s all a matter of activating Ozil for what is going to be a very important six months of the season for Arsenal.”
