DBasia.news – Former Arsenal striker Jeremie Aliadiere believes the Gunners’ dressing room is not conducive because of Mesut Ozil’s big salary.
Last season, Arsenal experienced a difficult situation with Ozil. The player is rumored to be leaving North London after he never extended his contract at the Emirates Stadium.
After a long negotiation process, Arsenal finally succeeded in defending Ozil. They gave him a contract with a salary of 350 thousand pounds per week. This value is far above other players.
According to Aliadiere, Ozil’s big salary became a time bomb for Arsenal. Because other players can demand the same thing.
“Knowing that Ozil didn’t go to that big match, you think ‘Why don’t I get paid like him’. They are there, in every battle. On paper, Ozil is the biggest player they have,” Aliadiere said.
