Bayern Munich have been monitoring the situation of Mesut Özil at Arsenal with interest in a potential January transfer.
Özil has produced mixed results since arriving at Arsenal from Real Madrid in 2013.
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola is convinced Özil has much more to offer and is hopeful that Arsenal will be vulnerable to an audacious bid for the World Cup winner when the transfer window next opens.
Arsenal has considerable depth in the creative midfield roles.
