Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil has denied suggestions he could be set to leave the club before the end of the transfer window next week.
.
Premier League duo Manchester United and Arsenal had been linked with Ozil who is starting his fourth season at Los Blancos after joining from Werder Bremen in 2010.
.
However, he insisted his future lies in the Spanish capital.
.
"I have a contract until 2016, I feel very good here and get on well with my teammates. For me it is an honour to play here with this team," he said at a promotional event on Wednesday.
.
"I want to succeed here. There has been a lot written in the press, they have spoken of interesting options, but I have a contract and I am staying at Real Madrid.
.
The German cut a frustrated figure as he stormed down tunnel after being substituted by new boss Carlo Ancelotti in Madrid's 1-0 win over Granada on Monday.
.
And Ozil had reportedly been unsettled by the arrival of Isco and Madrid's potential purchase of Gareth Bale which would leave the 24-year-old's place the side far from secure in the run up to the World Cup next year.
.
But he said he understands the role that Ancelotti wants him to play this season.
.
"I have the confidence of the coach and there is a series of objectives that we want to achieve in which every one has their own role to play. This is one of the reasons I want to stay."
