Mesut Ozil should show some solidarity for his Arsenal team-mates amid the coronavirus crisis by agreeing to a pay cut, says Emmanuel Petit.
The German is one of three Gunners players to refuse a 12.5 per cent salary reduction while the rest of the squad have agreed.
Ozil is the highest paid player at the club earning £350,000-a-week and many critics believe his decision is wrong. The midfielder insists he will consider taking an even bigger cut once the economic picture at the Emirates is clearer.
But until he is shown the extent of the damage caused and sees where the money the players are giving up is going then he won’t be paying a penny.
