Ozil has however, given Gunnersaurus a second chance.

The playmaker of Turkish origin will pay his salary in full as long as he is a player at the club.

Ozil has struggled for playing time at Arsenal since the return of football following the coronavirus disruptions.

The 31-year-old has 12 months left on his contract so Gunnersaurus will be at the club for at least another year.
