‘Mesut zil only plays when he wants to’ – Former Arsenal captain William Gallas launches stinging attack on midfielder and suggests Unai Emery will sell him in the summer
Mesut zilis on the brink of an Arsenal exit after failing to convince Unai Emery of his quality, according to former Gunners captain William Gallas.Despite appearing to wave goodbye to the Arsenal fans during his last outing, zilwas not sold in the January transfer window.3

William Gallas believes Mesut Ozil is done at Arsenal

The midfielder has fallen way down the pecking order at the Emirates and has started just 14 games under Emery.Although he has worn the captain’s armband on multiple occasions this season, zil has also been left out of matchday squads by the Spaniard – with questions about his fitness and physicality reportedly the issue.The 29-year-old played well in Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Cardiff City on Tuesday night, but was still replaced 15 minutes before the end by Aaron Ramsey.With Emery seemingly having made his decision on the 350,000-a-week star, Gallas told The Sun he can understand why the former Paris Saint-Germain boss is so infuriated with the mercurial talent.3

Unai Emery is struggling to get the best out of Mesut Ozil this season

He said: “Emery has tried everything he can to try and get a reaction out of zil but the player isnt responding.“It is a very difficult situation for zil and for Arsenal.“Everybody knows zils quality but he isnt consistent. He only plays when he wants to play.“zil should be doing more with the quality he has, he has to be the best player for Arsenal every game that he plays in.”3

Gallas captained Arsenal after his move from Chelsea in 2006

A deadline day signing from Real Madrid in 2013, zil arrived for 42.5million and instantly hit the ground running in north London.But a recurrent theme has emerged throughout his time at Arsenal – injuries and inconsistency have stopped him from regularly producing the sort of magic Gunners fans know he can produce.But with Emery confirming the loan signing of Barcelona star Denis Suarez on the final day of the January window, Gallas believes the Spaniard is already preparing for the future.Gallas added: “The fans are upset with zil and Emery knows this. “He made the choice to start zil on the bench to try see if he would get a reaction from the player and it is now down to zil to make this happen.“If he doesnt perform, Arsenal may consider selling him so they can use the money from the transfer and his big wages to buy a more effective player.”
