to the club until 2021.
The German international's new deal is a three and half year contract
worth a reported £350,000 a week before tax.
The 29 year old was the club's record signing when he arrived from
Real Madrid on September 1, 2013 for a fee of £42m.
His time at the club has fetched three FA cups, the last of which was
last season's triumph over Chelsea at Wembley.
Ozil has made 21 appearances this season with four goals and six assists.
The new contract makes him Arsenal's highest earner. And it comes at
time that Arsene Wenger's side could do with a boost after the
departure of Alexis Sanchez, who was in the same contract situation
with the German international, as they had just under six months left
on their contract.
With the German's future now settled, the club would be looking to
sort out the contract situation of Jack Wilshere, who has been
impactful since he regained his place in Arsenal's league campaign.
