This is worrying news for Arsenal fans.
Mesut Ozil is revered by Gooners, even if the rest of the footballing fraternity don’t always appreciate his subtle gifts.
But Ozil’s agent has now hinted that the German maestro’s future may lie away from north London.
Dr Erkut Sogut has disclosed that there is serious interest from Fenerbahce, and perhaps more surprisingly, a move to Turkey is under consideration.
“At Arsenal, Mesut is very successful in his performances,” explains Sogut. “It’s too early to talk right now. But you cannot know the conditions. Fenerbahce seem serious about Mesut.”
Arsenal fans may guffaw at the possibility of the 26-year-old moving to the Super Lig at his prime, but the player has close family links to Turkey and Sogut says it’s a genuine possibility.
“It is difficult to predict in advance how Arsenal would respond. At the end of the season, we’ll see. However, leaving Arsenal for Fenerbahce could be a serious choice for him. They are one of Turkey’s biggest clubs.”
