Mesut Ozil’s exclusion from the squad in recent games point to only one direction – Arsenal are trying to get rid of him.
When Mikel Arteta first arrived, he was happy to give the German a central role in every Premier League game.
Ozil responded by registering 0 assists during that period and just one goal in the 4-0 win over Newcastle United. Very quickly fans recognized how far the World Cup winner has fallen. Ever since the restart, Ozil has been shunned from the squad, missing both games against Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion.
No one can convincingly say that the 31-year-old’s presence would have delivered alternate results in both of the humiliating defeats this past week. That means, he has become a player excess to Arsenal’s needs. Keep in mind, the Gunners will still need to replace him.
Fenerbahce have long been interested in bringing Ozil to the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. But the Turkish outfit has failed to come up with the funds to sign him in the past. Now, they are reportedly preparing a transfer plan to finally get his signature. Ozil has just 12 more months left on his contract with the Gunners.
FotoSpor claim that the Yellow Canaries will setup a premium SMS plan through which they will be able to raise their transfer budget. With that, they will be able to facilitate Ozil’s transfer. One will be sceptical to hear such news but crazier things have happened in football. You never know!
