Unai Emery wants to sell Mesut Ozil this summer

Since Arsène Wenger left last summer, his beloved Arsenal have been a mess both on the pitch and off it. The fans are not happy with how the season went and are looking for great personnel change this summer.

The Gunners have always been accused of not having any mental steel or leaders; when the going gets tough, the players seem to crawl into their shell and capitulate. They’re in need of experienced and talented players, players like Juan Mata.

Mesut Özil is Arsenal’s highest paid player. Let that sink in. But for all the millions of pounds the German has received, he only produced three assists all season. Apart from that, his defensive work rate was poor, and Unai Emery is seeking to sell him.

Juan Mata would be the perfect replacement for the German. The 31-year-old offers as much creativity as Özil, more tactical nous and a better work rate off the ball. In fact, he’s the perfect Unai Emery player.
