Turkish club frontrunners to sign former
Real Madrid player Özil was cut from Mikel Arteta’s squad for this seasonMesut Özil is close to agreeing a settlement with
Arsenal that would allow him to terminate his contract and join Fenerbahçe this month.
The playmaker’s future has been a topic for several months and the question has been when, rather than if, he will depart a club where he has fallen dramatically out of favour. Özil’s £350,000-a-week deal at Arsenal ends on 30 June but the two parties are on the verge of confirming an early parting of ways.
