Mesut Ozil makes a special request to Arsenal following Jack Wilshere’s exit

Arsenal star playmaker Mesut Ozil has had his eye on the No.10 jersey ever since arriving at the Emirates.

The Germany international played in the No.10 jersey at Real Madrid and also represents the national team with the No.10 shirt.

However, when Ozil arrived at Arsenal, Jack Wilshere already occupied the No.10 jersey.

According to the Daily Mail, Ozil has told Arsenal officials that he wants the No.10 shirt once Wilshere leaves the club.

Wilshere confirmed on social media that he will be leaving the north London based club this summer following a 17-year association with Arsenal.

The star playmaker is currently on international duty with the Germany national team. Ozil was left out of Joachim Low’s starting eleven on Saturday and was an unused substitute during their 2-1 win over Sweden
