The former Werder Bremen and Schalke 04 creator cost the club £42.5m when he joined from Spain six-years-ago, but has failed to reignite his form at despite retiring from international duty last year after making 92 appearances for Germany.
Emery revealed that he left Ozil out of their squad for the win over Standard Liege in the Europa League because other players deserved the position more.
