Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil says he wants to stay at Arsenal amid transfer talks over a summer exit away from Arsenal and is set to reopen contract talks with the gunners after the pre-season tour of Australia.
Ozil is among a number of Arsenal players including contract rebel Alexis Sanchez who is inside the final year of their contract and has so far been unable to agree terms with the club on an extension.
Meanwhile Manchester City target Alexis Sanchez has so far said nothing about his intention, Ozil has made it clear his priority is to remain at the club and win trophy.
"It is definitely my preference to stay," the Germany said at the launch of Arsenal's 2017/2018 third kit at their pre-season tour in Sydney, Australia. "It is such a great club and I have always said that I feel very good at Arsenal.
"Once everyone is back in London we will sit down and discuss about the future. For now the most important thing is our pre-season and getting through the tour, training and getting fitness.
"When I'm back in London, we will sit down and discuss."
Ozil was less certain when asked about team mate Sanchez's position, saying: "It would hit the team quite hard if he left because he's a player who always delivers.
"It would be a setback to winning the title, but in the end it's the player's decision."
Arsenal will take on Sydney FC on Thursday morning, UK-time, before facing Western Sydney Wanderers two days later.
