The long running contract stand-off between Arsenal and one of their top players in Mesut Ozil has now taken a new twist.

The Gunners have been trying to tie down the German play-maker to a new deal for quite some time now. Ozil has spoken out about the matter recently, saying that he loves the club and is more than willing to stay, however there is a twist in the tale.

The 28-year-old added that he would only make a decision on his future once the situation of manager Arsene Wenger is clarified. The French manager is on the last year of his current deal and could leave the club, where he has spent more than 20 years, as soon as next summer.

Many Gooners saw this coming, and some took it in jovial fashion.

However most of the Arsenal fan base didn’t take the news too well. There has been a very vocal and angry uprising against Wenger in recent times, with the #WengerOut brigade increasingly frustrated over the continued tenure of the Frenchman.

They have been demanding a change in manager for years now, and the recent comments made by Ozil has only served to aggravate them even further.

Gooners are now saying they don’t care if Ozil wants to leave, because him staying isn’t worth it if it means Wenger too will stay on.
