Come on Arsene Wenger do something.

The report adds that Barcelona are ready to swoop in for the ex-Real Madrid star in the summer.
Speaking to Bild (h/t Sport Witness), an unnamed figure from the midfielder’s management claimed the Gunners want to extend the contract of the midfielder, but it seems as though there are also options elsewhere for Ozil.
Thierry Henry is hoping that Mesut Ozil stays at Arsenal as he continues to develop into a key player for the north London side.
Ozil’s current deal with the Gunners runs until the summer of 2018, so there’s no real pressure on the club in that sense.
At least Arsenal are trying to keep him and there are reports about a new contract being prepared for the German.
Others compared the possibility of losing Ozil to previous departures of Samir Nasri and Robin van Persie, and ultimately believe that keeping Alexis Sanchez is more important.
According to Marca, Ozil is holding off on signing a contract extension at Arsenal because he is looking for a “change of scenery”.
No team is better at stretching apart and tearing through deep defensive shells than Arsenal. Now I play against them, it’s a really good feeling’. He’s a good player but only as a team can we stop him.

The big question for Barça will be do they think Ozil would be an upgrade on the players they already have.
