Arsenal star Mesut Ozil told he will be SOLD in January: Unai Emery decision demanded

ARSENAL star Mesut Ozil could be sold in January if the club receives an attractive offer, according to Charlie Nicholas.

The Gunners have bounced back from some early poor form at the start of the season after losses to Manchester City and Chelsea.

Arsenal have responded with four wins out of four over West Ham, Newcastle, Cardiff and Vorskla.

And German playmaker Ozil has also responded to an early-season blip with two goals in two games as he looks to assert himself under new boss Unai Emery.

It follows reports of a bust-up at the training ground that Emery was forced to deny and some performances that have been slammed by pundits and boss alike.

Ozil was hauled off against Chelsea at a time when they were losing as well as missing the game against the Hammers due to a mysterious illness.

And the Spanish coach has publicly demanded more from the former Real Madrid star - who earns £350,000-a-week.

But despite the turn in form, former Arsenal star Nicholas does not believe the 29-year-old suits Emery's style and that a decent bid will see the midfielder gone in January.

"If this isn’t improved by January, and a decent offer comes in, Arsenal will let him go,” the Scot said.

"It keeps coming up that Fenerbahce and these sort of clubs would be interested in looking at him.

"I don’t know financially how they could do it, (perhaps) some of the Chinese money that has been floating about.

"There will be teams that are interested and I’ll tell you how it will end up working.

"It wouldn’t be a salary thing, it would be a big chunk of money that he would get and that would nurse the bruising that his salary would have to drop a bit.

"But the thing is, is he really that committed to it?

"I think we are starting to identify that the new manager, it’s taken him quite a bit of time, is getting on fine with him, but he will be saying ‘if you’re not playing well, you’ll be out the team’, and he will not accept that Ozil.”
