Arsenal misfit Mesut Ozil turns down a move to Fenerbahce as they can't pay his £350,000-per-week wages... with his former Miss Turkey wife being the 'driving force' behind an Emirates exit

Arsenal outcast Mesut Ozil has turned down a move to Turkish outfit Fenerbahce after they were unable to match his hefty salary, according to reports.

The 31-year-old playmaker has failed to feature for a single minute under Mikel Arteta since the restart and his Emirates nightmare may be brought to an unsavoury end this summer.

Bild have even reported that Ozil's wife, Amine Gulse, is the driving force behind a potential switch to Turkey.

Ozil has just 12 months remaining on his £350,000-a-week deal, but appears unwilling to lower his wage demands despite being restricted to watching Arsenal from the sidelines.
