Ozil, 29, had widely been expected to leave the club as he failed to agree to new terms as his contract ran down. 😎📝 #YaGunnersYa pic.twitter.com/msr20AUOm3 — Mesut Özil (@MesutOzil1088) February 1, 2018 But, unlike Alexis Sanchez, who moved to Manchester United having made it clear he would not extend his contract, the World Cup winner has now opted to stay put. Ozil shared a photo of him signing the contract with manager Arsene Wenger and said: “#YaGunnersYa…. Proud to announce: I signed dat thing… 3 more years with Arsenal! “He’s a World Cup winner too, of course, lifting that trophy with Germany in 2014.” The deal adds to the January acquisitions of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who joined from United in exchange for Sanchez, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
