- Mesut Ozil has finally put an end to his Arsenal nightmare, joining Fenerbahce

Shkodran Mustafi pissed Arsenal fans off as he said goodbye to Mesut Ozil’s “disinterestedness” after the German ended his Gunners nightmare by joining Turkish side Fenerbahce.
Ozil, 32, will be officially introduced as a Fenerbahce player after his £ 350,000-a-week contract was terminated early by Arsenal, with the midfielder not playing for the club at all this season.
The Mercurial midfielder had years of success after joining in 2013, but left under a dark cloud after being exiled from the team in recent seasons under former manager Unai Emery and current boss Mikel Arteta.

He also sparked controversy in 2020, when he refused to agree to a 12.5% reduction in his gigantic salary, unlike most of his colleagues, during the first national coronavirus blockade at a time when Arsenal had to release staff.
So, his farewell tweet from colleague Mustafi, labeling Ozil as “disinterested on and off the field” and suggesting that the club disappointed him, did not sit well with some of the Gunners believers on Twitter.
Mustafi’s tweet read: “Brother, you were the most altruistic player on the field and on the field, I have ever shared the locker room. You will always be remembered as #AsistKing. Unfortunately, we, as a team, could not help you when you needed us the most. All the best.’
One fan, @AFCHarv, wrote: “HE’S THE MOST PLAYING AUTHOR I HAVE HAD”, while @arsenalbarclays replied: “Please explain? GBP 350,000 / week: if this is not support, I don’t know what it is?
Another fan, @ Marcus49AFC, underlined Ozil’s refusal to take the temporary pay cut, saying that “Ozil refuses to reduce the salaries with which 20 teammates agree. Mustafi: “you were the most altruistic player on the field”.
@owiiemma added: “You are an Arsenal player. You should be on the side of the club. You should try to help us get out of the situation. What’s wrong with you?’
Ozil arrived in Istanbul late on Sunday night, Fenerbahce posted on Twitter some pictures with their imminent signing, along with the message: “Our club brings Mesut Ozil to Istanbul to continue the transfer process.”

Speaking about this move, Ozil told NTV: “I am a Fenerbahce fan. That is why I am very happy to come to Turkey with Fenerbahce, I am very excited. God gave me the chance to wear this T-shirt as a Fenerbahce fan. God willing, I’ll wear it with honor and do my best for the team.
– Of course, I’m missing a few games. I haven’t played in a match for a while, but I’m in physical shape, I have no problems’, he said, adding that he trained with the first team at Arsenal during his time on the field.
Ozil is leaving the club, helping Arsenal lift three FA Cup trophies during his time, the first of which in the 2013-14 season, helping him end his nine-year drought.
