Arsenal are set to investigate claims that academy coach Mark Arber broke Football Association rules by betting on the signing of Mesut Ozil.
The Gunners snapped up the Germany international in a club record £42.4million on transfer deadline day, and shortly after Arber posted on his Twitter account: "Lovely bit of 14-1 Mesut," hinting at the odds of the bet he may have made on the deal going through.
The north London club will now look into the situation, with a club spokesman revealing: "All our employees and workers are well aware of their responsibilities in this respect and we are looking into this as a matter of urgency."
The FA regulations 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)."
