Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta expressed his opinion on the situation around midfielder Mesut Ozil, who was excluded from the team's bid.

" And that for my part, I was patient and fair.

He has been a really important player the past few seasons. I have to respect that, I am here to make decisions, the best decisions for the team and for the club. This is what I am trying to do and then I have to explain to them because people need reasons and correct answers..

But I have to make decisions with all my heart and mind in order to make the right decisions, which I believe are good, ”Arteta told Sky Sports.

Earlier, Ozila's agent stated a prejudice against his client on the part of a Spanish specialist.
