been launched.
Arsenal have launched an investigation into whether academy
coach Mark Arber bet on the signing of Mesut Ozil .
Arber reportedly wrote a tweet on his personal account,
@1Arbs, that suggested he'd put money on the German international arriving at
the Emirates earlier this week, saying: "Lovely bit of 14-1 Mesut."
The Barclays Premier League club have now confirmed it
will be looking into whether there has been a potential breach of gambling
rules.
"We take this very seriously," a spokesman
said.
"All Arsenal employees and workers are well aware of
their responsibilities in this respect and we are looking into this as a matter
of urgency."
Football Association rules state: "You are not
allowed to place a bet on a game or competition in which you have any
influence, either direct or indirect.
"The above includes all bets related to the
following: Any other events involving your club or other clubs playing in the
same league competition (such as next manager markets)."
