clubs in the world and insists he is happy at
Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal have not won the Premier League title
since 2003-04 and some have suggested their lack
of success could prompt stars such as Ozil to leave
the club, with the Germany international's contract
due to expire in June 2018.
Nevertheless, Ozil has dismissed suggestions he is
unhappy at Arsenal, with a decision on his future in
London forthcoming at the end of the season.
"Arsenal belong as one of the best clubs in the
world and London is a great place to be, a great
city to live in," Ozil told Sky Sports.
"As I have always said in the past, I feel
comfortable here. I am happy.
"As I have said before, in the summer we will talk
but right now Arsenal stands in front of any player
and I respect that.
"So after the season we will talk and then we will
make a decision from there."
Ozil has received his fair share of criticism this
season after yet another year without Premier
League and Champions League success, but the
former Real Madrid man remains unperturbed by
what others say.
"The expectations are always high, which I guess is
normally a positive, you could say," the midfielder
added.
"But I know what I can do and it does not affect me
really. I have played for Real Madrid, I have played
for Germany and I have had praise and criticism
throughout my career and it has only made me
stronger.
"For me what is most important, as I have always
said, is the manager's opinion, because when it
comes from him you know it's the truth, be it
positive or be it negative.
"There are some people that like me and some
people that do not, but I give no worth to those
opinions, really. They can have them, but I know
what I can do. My stats show that I do give my all
and I give my best."
