Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that reports linking Mesut Ozil with a move away from the club are wide of the mark.
The Germany international has been linked with a move to Juventus, should either Paul Pogba or Arturo Vidal leave them this summer.
Wenger has stated that Ozil, who joined the Gunners from Real Madrid in 2013, has no intention of leaving the Emirates Stadium.
"During this period, the newspapers are creative and have to be creative, but many times the stories are created by agents," FourFourTwo quotes Wenger as saying.
"Ozil is our player, he will remain our player and wants to remain our player.
"It's a big season for him because he had a difficult start last year and in the second part of the season he was very important [for us]. He's improved his defensive attitude, he works hard and offensively he's a top-class player."
Ozil has scored 12 goals in 72 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions.
