The Germany international has been closely linked with a move away from the north London-based club after failing to pen a contract extension.
Ozil has entered the last six months of his contract and will be able to discuss terms with European clubs from January 1 onwards. The 29-year-old could even end up leaving the club for free next summer unless a new deal can be agreed.
Following Arsenal Fan TV’s tweet, Arsenal fans took to twitter in their droves to express their excitement.

We need Ozil, we really do. As much as I love Sanchez seeing him play this season – I wouldn't mind him going.. just please not an a rival English club. ?

I'd be fine with this. Ozil is a fantastic creator. I just hope we replace Alexis with a great player, like Draxler. Also need to start lining up a GK for the future.

Özil is more important to us than Sanchez

I really hope Ozil stays. Could be massive for us post the transfer window. Also, Alexis leaving is absolutely what we need. Seems like the guy's lost all the motivation to play for Arsenal. Hoping we could sign another striker and deploy Ozil as a proper CAM.

Based in how they've been performing I would be fine with this. Ozil has shown he means more to the team lately than Alexis does.

Amazing! Just replace Alexis with Lemar and Fekir and we are done.

That'd be great tbh

I'd be pretty happy with that, see if we can trade Sanchez for Draxler in Jan or sell and put the money towards Fekir/Lemar
