Mesut Ozil would prefer to remain with Arsenal and sign an extension.

Ozil has entered the final 12 months of his £140,000-a-week deal. Arsenal haven't received any offers from rival clubs who are willing to meet his wage demands.

Arsenal have offered a deal worth £280,000-a-week.

“It is definitely my preference to stay,” Özil said, at Arsenal’s launch of their new third kit in Sydney. “It is such a great club and I have always said that I feel very good at Arsenal. Once everyone is back in London, we will sit down and discuss about the future.

“For now, the most important thing is our pre-season and getting through the tour, training and getting fitness. When I’m back in London, we will sit down and discuss.”
