Arsenal legend Ray Parlour on Mesut Ozil snub: Unai Emery doesnt want another Neymar
Ray Parlour believes Arsenal manager Unai Emery is trying to ensure he doesnt end up in another star player power battle with his recent handling of Mesut Ozil.The Gunners highest-paid player has been absent from a number of games this season and was dropped from the squad for this weeks north London derby defeat to Tottenham in the EFL Cup.3

Mesut Ozil only signed a new contract less than a year ago, but Unai Emery reportedly wants him out of the club

Emery confirmed after the game that his decision not to pick the German was for tactical reasons and not due to injury, with reports claiming the boss is unhappy with the midfielders work rate and attitude.Ozils recent fall down the Arsenal pecking order under the new manager has led to transfer reports saying he could leave the club in January on loan. And Gunners legend Parlour believes Emery was making a statement with his snub against Spurs, saying he doesnt want to encounter another Neymar following his struggles at previous club Paris Saint-Germain.Speaking on Fridays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Parlour said: Ozil is not featuring and he wasnt even in the squad against Spurs, so thats a bit of a worry for fans.Something has gone wrong behind the scenes, probably in training his attitude has not been right.3

Ozil was made captain against Crystal Palace in October but performed so badly he was substituted – apparently infuriating Emery in the process

When you get left out youve got to come back and make sure your attitude is spot on. Youve got to show the manager you mean business and youre going to fight for your place and maybe he hasnt done that.So Emery had made that big decision.Hes probably looking at it thinking, I dont want another Neymar – he got Emery the sack at PSG.3

Emery has said Neymar is No.1 at PSG and not the manager

Fellow Arsenal legend David Seaman told talkSPORT on Thursday it would be a massive blow to the club if they lost Ozil in January, especially with Aaron Ramsey already heading out the door.

I dont want to see quality players leaving Arsenal. Weve got the Ramsey situation coming up in the summer, so you dont want to see Ozil and players of that sort of quality leaving the club. – David Seaman on talkSPORT

But Parlour has admitted he cant find a place for the German star in the current Gunners team.He added: As Dave says, you dont want to see quality players going, but is there a place for him in the side?I dont know when youd put him in the side at the moment.If you play three at the back its very hard to put him in, and if you play four at the back theres one spare place in the midfield but Emery might look at it and think other players deserve the opportunity over Ozil.
