Arsenal confirmed Friday that they are actively investigating “as a matter of urgency” whether academy coach Mark Arber bet on the signing of Mesut Ozil.

Arber reportedly tweeted on his personal account on Monday that he had bet on the German international midfielder’s move to Arsenal from Real Madrid in what turned out to be a £42.4m deal.

The Gunners will investigate a potential breach of gambling rules.

“We take this very seriously,” said a club spokesman.

“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 betting rules do not allow people to bet on any events involving their own club.
