Mesut Özil will join Fenerbahce but Özil will not give up his salary. If Arsenal and Fenerbahce can't agree who pays how much of it, Özil will stay in London until the summer
( @BILD_Sport)

Özil wants the €10m that remains owed to him paid over two years but Arsenal are refusing and actually want the €10m they paid him for the first half of this season, in which he hasn’t played and been left out of their squad, paid back. ( @EfsaneFotospor)

"Houssem Aouar has always been the first target for Arsenal. They love him and they are convinced he would be perfect in their midfield." ( @FabrizioRomano)

“The problem with Aouar is that Lyon are asking for €60m they are having an amazing season, they want to be back in the Champions League, so at the moment with the president of Lyon it’s really hard to negotiate in January for this kind of player.” ( @FabrizioRomano)

Kieran Tierney’s injury is thought not to be serious and the Arsenal left-back could be available for their next Premier League game against Newcastle United on Monday, @David_Ornstein reports. ( @TheAthleticUK)

EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal are impressed by Ivan Toney and will continue to monitor his development at Brentford. Express Sport understands that Arsenal are among his admirers with the Gunners set to continue tracking his performances. ( @DExpress_Sport)

Arsenal want to sign Barcelona goalkeeper Neto on a short term loan but the Spanish club want a permanent transfer, with an asking price of €21m. (AS)

The race to sign Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun has narrowed down to three serious contenders, all of whom hope to secure the 19-year-old on a pre-contract agreement this month. ( @NickAmes82/ @FabrizioRomano)

Balogun has so far turned down offers to stay at Arsenal, although the Premier League club retain hope that the situation will change. ( @NickAmes82/ @FabrizioRomano)

Balogun is not the only promising academy product Arsenal risk losing in the near future, with the winger Kido Taylor-Hart yet to sign a professional deal amid strong interest domestically and from overseas.( @NickAmes82/ @FabrizioRomano)

Interest in Taylor-Hart is understood to be considerable and he would be free to move on when his present deal ends this summer if no new contract is agreed. ( @NickAmes82/ @FabrizioRomano)

Mikel Arteta is “really” excited to work with Richard Garlick after revealing Arsenal landed their No1 candidate for the role of director of football operations in hiring him. ( @standardsport)

Mikael Silvestre on Kieran Tierney: “He's a future captain for sure and while he needs a lot more games under his belt, he definitely has the quality to be the best left-back in the league. He definitely has the mentality to wear the armband for Arsenal one day.”

Football expert @honigstein: "I think if you spend so much on one player [Özil], and then for whatever reason, he's no longer in the squad that affects your ability to attract other players. So part of those issues go back to Arsenal's decision to give him that new contract.

. @honigstein: "I mean, no one forced and that's the point he's always making. No one forced them to give him this huge deal. They felt it was absolutely necessary. One of the last things Arsene Wenger did was make sure that he signed that new deal."

. @honigstein: "And that hampered Arsenal's ability to grow in the transfer market ever since. How much was Mesut responsible for that rather than just being part or sort of swept up in it? It's impossible to answer.
