The German midfielder's agent, Dr Erkut Sogut, has confirmed that lucrative approaches from Asia were turned down in order to remain in England

Mesut Ozil snubbed “crazy offers” from Asia in order to stay at Arsenal, claims his agent Dr Erkut Sogut, with it suggested that a £1 million-a-week approach was made.

The German playmaker saw his future with the Gunners called into question during the 2017-18 campaign as his contract ran down.

He entered the final six months of that agreement before committing to fresh terms that are set to keep him in north London until 2021.
