Mesut Ozil is unhappy with Arsene Wenger over his failure to significantly improve Arsenal’s squad, claims Robert Pires.

‘Ozil is a warrior who wants to win something,’ Pires told SportBild.
‘To me, he seems so angry about the fact that Arsenal hasn’t put together the team with which he can make a difference.
‘They only spent money on Alexandre Lacazette. That’s not enough to compete for the top spots.’
