Mesut Ozil's agent takes swipe at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for joining Chelsea after Arsenal stint

Mesut Ozil's agent has aimed a dig at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for joining Chelsea in the summer - insisting his client would not join one of Arsenal's rivals like his former team-mate.

Ozil spent seven-and-a-half years at Arsenal before departing in January 2021, registering 44 goals and 78 assists while helping the north London club win three FA Cups.

His spell at the Emirates ended on a sour note, however, with Mikel Arteta leaving the German midfielder out of his squads for the 2020-21 campaign before his contract was terminated six months early.
