Ian Wright has called on Arsenal boss Unai Emery to keep out-of-favour Mesut Ozil.

The German playmaker is the Gunners' highest-paid player, on a reported £350,000-a-week, and Emery could try and shift him to free up funds.

Wright told the Daily Mirror: “I'm not for selling someone like Mesut Ozil because Mesut Ozil is the kind of player you want in your team.

“People can say whatever they want – levelling accusations that he doesn't do it in this game or that game.

“The fact is that he is good enough to be doing it in those games.

“I have no problem with Mesut Ozil earning what he is earning, because at the end of the day you need players around him that can bring the best out of him as well.”
