MESUT OZIL is causing Unai Emery a massive and expensive headache as he refuses to be forced out of Arsenal.

The £350,000-a-week star is failing to earn a spot in the Gunners team.

He has been snubbed by Emery for a place in the matchday squad let alone the first XI on numerous occasions this season.

Ozil has started just one of Arsenal’s last 10 games, and his future is very much up in the air.

And the German even had the chance to join PSG on loan during the January transfer window.

But Ozil is said to be happy living in London and is not prepared to go at the first offer.

According to The Sun, it has left the player and his manager locked in a stand-off with neither backing down.

Emery has told Ozil he is not part of his plans and wants to axe him from the squad, and subsequently the wage bill, this summer.

Arsenal’s chief creator, though, is prepared to dig his heels in and stay for another two years if needs be.

Ozil would consider a move to a major European club come the summer.

However, that would only be if the financial terms are favourable for the World Cup winner.

And he is said to have no interest in a potential switch to the Chinese Super League as Arsenal struggle for suitors.

Emery is becoming increasingly frustrated by the Ozil situation behind the scenes and publicly, refusing to discuss it in press conferences now.

Ozil and his team have take to social media to show he is committed to the cause at Arsenal and is simply being snubbed when available.

The Sun add the player believes he is starting to win the fans’ backing amid the ongoing confusion outside of the club why their most expensive star cannot get a game while the side is far from flourishing.

Arsenal sit fifth in the table with Champions League qualification on the line, along with progression in the Europa League.

Ozil was left out the squad completely for yesterday’s 1-0 defeat away to BATE Borisov in their round of 32 first leg.
