Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger remained coy on the future of midfield ace Mesut Ozil, telling reporters he could not answer questions on the German's contract after the club's thrilling 3-3 draw with Liverpool on Friday.
Ozil was stellar for the Gunners once again, scoring Arsenal's third goal to cap off an amazing turnaround after trailing the Reds 2-0 just minutes prior.
Despite the strong form, rumours continue to circle around the 29-year-old, with multiple big clubs reportedly chasing his signature.
And, when asked about the midfielder's contract after the match, the French manager had few answers.
"Ozil had a good game tonight and the second part of your sentence I cannot answer," he told reporters.
While Wenger wasn't open to talking about Ozil's future, he added some clarity on Jack Wilshere's situation with the club, claiming that the Gunners would like to keep the players they've brought up through their system.
"We will see, but as well I think we had four players tonight who have been educated at our academy, with (Héctor) Bellerin, (Alex) Iwobi and Wilshere they are certainly the only ones at the top, but basically we want to keep these players," he said.
Despite receiving praise from his manager for his showing against Liverpool, Wilshere was unhappy with Arsenal's inability to see out the result despite taking a lead near the hour mark.
"We didn't do ourselves justice in the first half. We were scared to play our game," Wilshere said.
"[In the second half] we were much better, we were on the front foot.
“We will be disappointed not to win the game."
Arsenal return to the pitch on Thursday against Crystal Palace still trailing Liverpool by a single point in the table.
