Arsenal star playmaker Mesut Ozil put an end to months of speculation linking him with an Emirates exit when he signed a bumper new deal with the Gunners.
The 29-year-old put pen-to-paper on a three-year contract making him the highest paid player in Arsenal’s history.
However, things have not gone to plan since signing a new deal. Arsenal have suffered four defeats in a row, lost the Carabao Cup final to Man City and find themselves 13 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham.
Gunners fans are not best pleased by the turn of events following Ozil’s mega-money contract and took to social media following the disappointing defeat to Brighton.
Some fans believe Arsenal made a major error by handing the former Real Madrid man a new deal.

Amazing how Mesut Ozil extended his contract at Arsenal and has been playing poorly ever since. He should also be blamed as he should be the creator for Aubameyang. Dude can't pass well, he lacks urgency too. Poor!

At least Mesut Ozil signed a new contract. Means you’ll probably get 50 million for him when he throws his toys out the pram and demands to leave!

Giving Mesut Ozil that contract was the worst thing we could have done. Knew it at the time, things are going to get worse.

Mesut Ozil made a blunder by signing a contract extension at Arsenal. He could be signing for one of the big clubs in the off season. He must be regretting that decision now.

Whoever decided to give Mesut Ozil a new contract needs to be fired.

No leader on the pitch, but has been the same for 3 years. Mesut Ozil is a disgrace; can't believe #AFC fell for extending his contract & vastly increasing his wages. They should be getting rid, not extending – plays when he feels like it; disgraceful #BHAvAFC

Mesut Ozil has the look & body language of a guy who wants a copy of his contract and an ink eraser #Wenger #Arsenal #AFC #BHAARS

Mesut Ozil needs to rip that new contract up & dust

Mesut Ozil cannot believe he has signed another contract to play for our club.
