Arsenal secured their first competitive win under Unai Emery on Saturday, fighting back from behind to defeat West Ham 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

When the team news was announced for the game, plenty of discussions orientated around the absence of Germany World Cup winner Mesut Ozil – who Emery said missed the game due to illness, although not everyone was convinced by that claim.

In the wake of Ozil’s absence, The Daily Mirror has stated that the former Real Madrid man is fighting for his future at Arsenal after starting the season with a number of sub-par performances from the midfielder who signed a lucrative £350k-a-week deal earlier this year.

Arsenal fans expect more from Ozil, who has entered the campaign on the back of a disappointing World Cup in Russia, and many responded to the speculation on social media by sharing their views.
