Report: Mesut Ozil agrees new Arsenal deal, takes Jack Wilshere's shirt number

Mesut Ozil says coo-ee after scoring his side's second during the game between Arsenal and Bournemouth on December 28, 2015
Mesut Ozil reportedly agrees a new contract with Arsenal and takes Jack Wilshere's number 10 shirt number in the process.

Mesut Ozil has reportedly agreed a new contract with Arsenal, as well as a squad-number switch.

The German World Cup winner has been in negotiations with the Gunners in recent weeks about extending his current deal, which expires in 2018.

According to Bild, the two parties have agreed on a bumper salary and a squad-number swap, which will give Ozil the number 10 jersey.

That shirt is currently occupied by Jack Wilshere, but the midfielder's long-term future with Arsenal is uncertain given that he joined Bournemouth on a season-long loan in the summer transfer window.

While reports in Germany have suggested that the ink is already dry on Ozil's new deal, The Mirror claims that it has not yet been finalised, but an agreement is expected to be reached as the 27-year-old is happy in North London.
