Özil-Arteta: who's lying?

There is something going on between Mikel Arteta and Mesut Özil that no one at Arsenal wants to bring to light. The coach ruled out the German again and cited his back problems as the reason for the ruling, but Özil responded on social media.

The former Real Madrid player posted a tweet in which he used the capital letters: "I'M READY". And, along with it, he uploaded a photograph of one of Arsenal's training sessions.

A few weeks ago, Arteta made it clear that the German, a "high quality" player, is not sidelined but the reality is that he hasn't played after the confinement.

Özil has not played a match since March and it seems that he could leave London in 2020 without ever wearing an Arsenal shirt again.

When he first joined, he had some exceptional games, but he has not fulfilled the expectations of the team just at the beginning. His performance has clearly gone from good to bad in just a couple of years.
