Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil insists he gives 'everything' for the club amid constant speculation linking him with a move away from the Emirates.

The German World Cup winner's contract at Arsenal runs out at the end of the season and he has attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United and Inter Milan.

However, after receiving praise from Arsenal's majority shareholder Stan Kroenke for his display in the 5-2 victory over Everton, Ozil has hit out at reports linking him with a move, claiming he always leaves everything on the pitch for Arsene Wenger's side.

'It's very nice to hear that [Kroenke's comments] and to see that - he's the major shareholder,' the 29-year-old told Sky Sports.


'I'm happy here, and I do my job to 100 per cent as I always have. I give everything and leave it all on the pitch for the team.

'The most important thing is football. I want to give everything, 100 per cent for this club.
