Ozil rebuts rumours he may leave Arsenal

Arsenal forward Mesut Ozil rebutted suggestions he could leave the club if Arsene Wenger stays as manager next season.

Newspaper reports linked the Germany international with a move, perhaps to Real Madrid.

But Ozil said on Twitter: "Have seen the media reports today. Arsene Wenger was a big reason for me joining Arsenal - this hasn't changed."

Wenger has come under fire after another season that looks likely to end without the Premier League title.

Arsenal, who last won the league in 2004, are third, 11 points behind high-flying Leicester, though they have eight games remaining, to the seven of the leaders.
