Ozil paid £8m loyalty bonus despite not playing

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil was paid a £8million steadfastness reward in September regardless of being solidified our by chief Mikel Arteta. 

The Athletic reports the 31-year-old was given the powerful aggregate as a major aspect of a game plan arranged when he marked another three-and-a-half-year bargain in January 18. 

The extra was composed into his agreement as a motivator to keep him at Emirates Stadium until the finish of his agreement, yet things have taken a startling turn since Ozil put pen to paper on crisp footing. 

Ozil has not played a solitary moment since the 2019-20 season restarted after lockdown recently and he was chopped out from their 25-man Europa League crew a week ago. 

The previous Real Madrid man should now stand by until October 20 to learn in the event that he has a spot in Arteta's Premier League crew. 

Despite the fact that Arsenal are quick to move Ozil on, he has consistently spelt out his goal to stay in north London until the finish of his agreement in July 2021.
