Jose Mourinho to wait until summer to land Arsenal star Mesut Ozil for £8m – EXCLUSIVE

While he was at the Santiago Bernabeu, he played for United manager Jose Mourinho.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is fighting to keep Ozil and is adamant that, like Alexis Sanchez, he will not be sold in next month’s transfer window.

Forward Sanchez, 28, remains a target for Manchester United’s neighbours City.

Meanwhile, it is understood the Gunners are prepared to pay Ozil £4m to re-sign with them, before wages, if he agrees a new contract.
