Arsenal stars Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil have another couple of years left on their existing contracts at the Emirates. The renewal of both players would be a priority for the Gunners, as both the former La Liga stars are crucial for Arsene Wenger.
According to claims in Germany, Mesut Ozil is set to sign a ‘mega contract’ at Arsenal to end rumours about his future.
Henning Feindt, who is the deputy editor of Sport Bild, reported on Twitter that Ozil is also set to change his shirt number from 11 to 10.

This should be a major boost for Arsenal, as Ozil was in impressive form last season and notched up 19 assists and 6 goals. The German international has scored twice this season already, and would be hoping to win some silverware again this season after already winning the FA Cup twice at Arsenal.
Jack Wilshere, currently on loan at Bournemouth, may have a concern about his own future, given the number 10 squad shirt has been his.
