Arsenal attacker Mesut Ozil expects to have contract talks “soon”, but insists he is happy at the Premier League club.

Ozil, 28, is out of contract in mid-2018, leading to speculation he may leave Arsenal in the off-season.

But the Germany international dismissed reports manager Arsene Wenger was already planning to be without his services.

“You think Wenger tells the journalists [about my future] before he tells me? I know him differently,” Ozil told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.

“I have a contract until 2018 in London and I feel very comfortable there. We’ll talk soon and then make a decision.”

Arsenal face a crucial outing in their first game after the international break, hosting third-placed Manchester City on Sunday.
