MESUT OZIL IS NO LONGER WITH ARSENAL MENTALLY, HE WANTS TO GO - FORMER ARSENAL PLAYER BELIEVES

Mesut Ozil has been linked with transfer away from Arsenal and Serie A side Inter Milan are interested in signing the want-away midfielder. Speculations was, Ozil prefers to link up with his former manager Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
Martin Keown, former Arsenal defender does not think the Ozil is with the club anymore with reports of refusing to travel with the team to BATE in the Europa League siting an imaginary injury.
"I think he's testing Wenger more than any other player has. I think it was Belarus the other week, he didn't fancy going. He didn't want to go," Martin Keown told BBC Radio 5.
"Suddenly he was injured again, he played nine minutes against West Bromwich Albion on the Monday, so how did he get injured there? 
He continued: 
"I think in some departments he's already left. Psychologically, mentally, he's already left the football club. Maybe Wenger is now trying to do the best deal he can to get some compensation for him."
The 28-year-old Germany international has made only four starts for under-fire Arsene Wenger's side this season and was not involved in the Europa League tie with BATE. 
Keown is not confident that Ozil's injury problems are genuine.
"I think he doesn't want that sort of player around the youngsters in the group," the 51-year-old said. "They played exceptionally well at Chelsea, where Iwobi did a really manful job – I know he hasn't got the talent of Ozil, of course, but suddenly Arsenal could compete in both departments defensively and attacking-wise. It was probably the best performance I've seen in a couple of years. "
"I was really impressed and it seemed like every player was giving their best. Alexis Sanchez is different. He loves playing football, just give him a ball and he'll play and that's all he wants to do. But Ozil, I think he's downed tools, he wants to go and it's going to get messy."
