A reunion with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United is 4/1, while a move to Los Blancos' fierce rivals Barcelona is 5/1 and joining the recent trend of a lucrative switch to any Chinese Super club is 8/1.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Despite signing a mega contract extension earlier this year, we're already looking at where Ozil will be playing next, and as things stand it's PSG who are leading the way in the race for his signature."

Upon signing his new deal - worth a reported £350,000 a week - Ozil revealed that he was at the right club, while SportBild claimed he had turned down interest from Man United, Barcelona and PSG to stay at the Emirates.

"It's been one of the most important decisions of my footballing career and that's why I had to think hard and talk with everyone who's important to me," he said.

"Good things take time! In the end I let my heart decide. As I always said, I feel at home here and I'm highly motivated to achieve big things in the next few years. Once a Gunner, always a Gunner!"

Belgium Beats England, but Faces Tougher World Cup Bracket

source: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/sports/world-cup/england-vs-belgium.html MOSCOW — Adnan Januzaj curled in a left-footed shot in the second half to give a second-string Belgium a 1-0 victory over a second-string England on Thursday. The win continued Belgium’s strong start to the World Cup — it joined Croatia and Uruguay as the only teams to win all three games in the group stage — but it set the Red Devils on a potentially far more difficult path in the knockouts. Belgium won the game in Kaliningrad despite making nine changes to its lineup, and amid a discussion about whether it might be better to finish second in the group instead of winning it. With its victory, Belgium won its third game at the World Cup but advanced to what most consider the tougher side of the knockout-round bracket , one that includes Brazil, Mexico, France, Argentina, Uruguay and Portugal. England, which made eight changes to its starting lineup in an effort to rest its star...

Colombia Emerges From the World Cup Chaos, Booting Senegal

After all that, after all the qualification and buildup, after six hard-fought matches and injuries and hand-wringing, it all came down to yellow cards. Just like Japan, Senegal won once, tied once, and lost once — falling by 1-0 to Colombia on Thursday after giving up a goal to Yerry Mina — but it will be the Japanese advancing to the knockout phase by virtue of having only three yellow cards, while Senegal had five. [ Here’s how the World Cup tie-breaker system works ] Colombia, which was in the most precarious position of the three teams (Poland had already been eliminated), emerged from the chaos, and the disappointment of losing James Rodríguez early in the first half, at the top of the Group. But for Senegal, it is a painful end to what had been a promising run. They defeated Polan...
