Mesut Ozil is reportedly waiting on assurances over the future of Arsene Wenger before committing to Arsenal long-term with an extension.

Ozil's current deal expires in 2018 while Wenger is out of contract following the current season.

Arsenal have been adamant they'd like to keep Ozil regardless of what happens with Wenger.

"It's not just money,” Wenger said recently.

“Arsenal can win titles of course. But that's what we have to show. We are in a league where Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea everybody fights and you cannot guarantee that to anybody.

"We keep that [negotiations] discreet. At due time we will come out with that. We want to keep our best players, of course. But the more I say that, the more he is in a stronger position.”
