Arsenal boss Unai Emery has confirmed Mesut Ozil is expected to be available for Sunday’s north London derby and will not be leaving the club this summer.

Ozil has yet to feature for the Gunners this term due to safety concerns and then illness, but he could feature against Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium.

Emery said: “This week he is training well, is physically better and he is training and doing normal work with us.

“He is going to be closer to us and he will be available on Sunday.”

Emery indicated that he expects Ozil to stay at the club beyond the end of the European transfer window.

“We are not speaking about the possibility for Mesut to leave,” he said.
