Arsenal legend, Martin Keown have continued his continued attack on German star, Mesut Ozil, by saying the contract rebel "will be gone" in January.
Uncertainty surrounding his future has sparked talk of an imminent exit, with Manchester United among those credited with holding an interest in the World Cup winner.
Keown sees no reason for the 29-year-old to be retained, having questioned his attitude on a regular basis this season, with his latest appearance in a 2-1 defeat to Watford further highlighting how ineffective he is for the Gunners at present.
After seeing Ozil spurn a gilt-edged chance at Vicarage Road, the former Arsenal defender told BT Sport,“The top players are ruthless and they don’t play for fun. I don’t know if he’s got that ruthlessness in his makeup.
“He had a gilt-edged opportunity to wrap up proceedings today and he didn’t take it.
“There’s only one outcome here. When it comes to January surely Mesut Ozil will be gone."
