Unai Emery has hit back at suggestions that he denied Germany manager Joachim Low the chance to meet with Mesut Ozil at the Arsenal training ground.
Reports earlier this week suggested that the German officials had flown to London specifically to meet with the Arsenal playmaker, but were denied of the opportunity upon arrival.
Emery was said to be keen to keep the German manager away from Ozil in a bid to not distract or unsettle the player who took the decision to retire from international future over the summer.
Speaking to Sky Sports after Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Brentford in the Carabao Cup, Emery hit back with a defiant interview.
“It’s not true that I didn’t let Mesut meet with Low. I had no problem in our situation in the training ground. It’s not true.”
It had been claimed that Low was aiming to convince the former Real Madrid man to come out of international retirement, but it is yet to be seen if Ozil will reverse his decision. - Read Sport
