“He’s still in the same position as he was last week and two weeks ago, and we said that we will manage everything internally,” he said per the Star.
“I have nothing to say.”

The North London side are currently 9th in the Premier League, nine points off a top-four spot.
Ozil has one goal and one assist in 23 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions this season.
