Mezut Ozil is yet to feature in an Arsenal jersey this season.

The German international who has not played a single minute under Arteta this season has entered the final year of his contract.

Once a club-record signing back in 2013, Ozil is now struggling to mark a place in the Premier League squad.

He has been also left out from the Europa League squad this season.

Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell believes that he has already pulled on an Arsenal shirt for the final time.

“Mesut Ozil is yesterday’s news at the club,” he told Genting Bet.

“There is no chance that he will feature for Arsenal again this season, or ever again.

“There have been certain things that have gone on, instances where he has gone against the club, so I don’t see where there is any room for him to come back.”

Former manager Arsene Wenger came out in defence of the World Cup winner and believes he still has a future at the Emirates.

“Mesut Ozil is an exceptional football player,” Wenger told Sky Sports News.

“What happens at the moment between him and the club looks to be more confrontational. It’s not based only on sport.

“If Ozil cannot play in the Europa League, I’m sorry, but this guy has won things, he’s a world champion, he’s an exceptional football player.

“Why is he not playing at the moment? I don’t know. When you’re a football player you have to respect the decision of your manager and fight to get the confidence back and fight to get back in the team.

“He can fight, contrary to what people think. He has enough quality to get back into the team, that’s down to him now.”
