Arsenal fans will be feeling a dreaded sense of deja vu. United previously signed Robin van Persie from the Gunners when he had a year remaining on his contract.

Ozil will have just 12 months remaining on his deal this summer which means Arsenal may be forced into offloading him.

The Germany international has provided 11 assists and scored 10 goals in 33 apperances for Arsenal this season.

The north London based club take on their London rivals Crystal Palace on Monday night. Arsenal are seven points behind fourth placed Man City and have two games in hand.
