MESUT OZIL could be offered an escape route to Inter Milan from his Arsenal misery.

The £350,000-a-week star has been BENCHED by Unai Emery for tough away trips.

And Inter are among a small clutch of clubs who afford a package to end six seasons at the Emirates.

He is set to stay at Arsenal for the rest of the campaign, according to sources close to the 30-year-old, but may consider his options in the summer.

Inter were looking at Ozil before he agreed a new deal in January to stay with the Gunners until 2021.

Ozil agreed fresh terms during the Arsene Wenger era and in the fall-out from the club losing Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United.

Ozil has scored four goals and added one assist for the Gunners this season but questions over his work-rate have arisen

Since then Emery has arrived and dropping him against Bournemouth last week has raised question over his work-rate for away games.

His monumental salary will make it difficult to shift him but Arsenal have shown their ruthlessness in withdrawing Aaron Ramsey’s contract offer.

They could cut their losses with Ozil two years before his contract expires, giving them an option to bring in a younger asset with bigger resale value.
