Mesut Ozil confident of joining another top European club

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil is confident of joining another top European club once his contract with the Gunners expires next summer.

The German was deemed surplus to requirements earlier this year and he has not been included in the Premier League and Europa League squads.

The club have no plans of integrating him into their plans at the turn of the year, but Ozil is determined to honour the remaining length of his deal.

According to The Mirror, the 32-year-old still has the belief that he can succeed in Europe and is confident of joining another top side next summer.

Ozil currently earns a salary of around £350,000-a-week and he would, of course, need to accept a significant wage-cut for a fresh challenge.

In the absence of Ozil, the Gunners have lacked the creativity from the number 10 role this term and they have netted only 10 goals from 11 games.

The Gunners are currently experiencing their worst ever Premier League start. They are 15th on the table, 11 points behind league leaders Tottenham Hotspur.
