Mesut Ozil has insisted he feels "very happy" at Arsenal in the face of mounting speculation about his future.
Like teammate Alexis Sanchez, Ozil's contract at the Emirates is due to expire at the end of next season.
After months of negotiations Arsenal have shelved talks with both men until the summer so that the team can fully concentrate on the run-in.
“The fact is I’ve still got a contract in London," Ozil told the German media.
"To speculate now would be wrong. At the end of the season we will see, there will be talks. I’m very happy at Arsenal and in London."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is out of contract at the end of this season but Ozil refused be drawn on what the Frenchman's future holds.
He said: “I don’t know what he will decide. That’s something we will have to wait for.”
''Arsenal have won just three of their last nine games in all competitions, with two of those victories coming against non-league sides in the FA Cup.
And Ozil reckons the team's poor form is down to a number of factors.
He said: “We are having a difficult phase. Somehow something is not working with the team.
We are letting in a lot of goals. Maybe it’s down to self-belief.
When I look at the quality of Arsenal though I’m convinced we will get on a run again soon.”
