Mesut Ozil is reportedly yet to put pen to paper on a new contract with Arsenal despite claims he recently signed a long-term deal.

Per the Evening Standard's James Olley, Arsenal are in continuing talks with the German international about extending his contract past 2018:

Mesut Ozil has not agreed a new deal with #afc as reported elsewhere. Talks are ongoing.

The Mirror's John Cross reported that while Arsenal "remain confident" of tying playmaker Ozil to new terms, the 27-year-old is "driving a hard bargain" as he looks to earn a big raise on his current £140,000-a-week deal.
