Germany international playmaker Mesut Ozil put pen-to-paper on a new deal with the north London based club earlier this week.
The 29-year-old was linked with a move away from the north London based club after entering the final five months of his contract. Ozil could have even ended up leaving the club for free in the summer.
The new deal made Ozil the highest paid player in Arsenal’s history.
Ozil’s teammate Mohamed Elneny has revealed that he spoke to the Germany international about his contract situation. The Egyptian midfielder confirmed that Ozil has put pen-to-paper on a new contract.
“I spoke to Mesut and he told me that he signed the new contract. He is a world-class player on and off the pitch,” Elneny told BeIN Sports.
“He is a vital player for us and there is always a positive aura surrounding him.”
Ozil provided the assist for Arsenal’s only goal on Tuesday night however, the Gunners ended up losing the game by a 3-1 scoreline.
The north London based club are back in action this weekend when they take on Everton in the Premier League.
