Keown – Ozil is no Arsenal legend

Arsenal legend Martin Keown has refused to acept Mesut Ozil status as a legend of the club.

‘It hurts me that a player of that talent can’t get on the football pitch, it’s a crying shame,’ Keown told talkSPORT.

‘For me, he doesn’t go down as a legend, because he doesn’t match the energy and determination of legends that I’ve seen at that football club.

‘If he had [Kieran] Tierney’s determination, coupled with that ability, he might’ve gone down as the best player ever to play for Arsenal.

‘He’s become calculated in the way that he’s undermining the club with tweets, and I think it’s now time to go.’

Ozil might finally be on his way out of the club with Fenerbahce interested.

In an interview with ESPN, his agent Sogut said: “We were not allowed to talk legally before January 1 so now we are just starting to look at the options with the numbers and details.

“I can’t talk about the clubs directly because it would be unprofessional but generally, there is six months left on the contract and it is nothing unusual that we will talk to people about different opportunities and try to find the best option for Mesut.
