Arsene Wenger has denied a report from Tuttosport linking Mesut Ozil to an August transfer to Juventus.

"Ozil is our player, he will remain our player and he wants to remain our player," said Wenger.

"It is a big season for him because he had a difficult start last year and in the second part of the season he was very important.

"Ozil understands the rhythms of English football and he has improved his defensive attitude.

"He works hard, and offensively he is a top class player."
