Mesut Ozil is close to reaching an agreement on a new Arsenal deal.
Ozil is in the final year of his contract but the club have been encouraged by recent negotiations and comments from the 28-year-old about staying in London.
Arsenal have offered £280,000 a week.
The German midfielder has been holding out for £350,000 a week, but has been unable to generate genuine interest elsewhere, unlike Alexis Sanchez.
