Mesut Ozil's on the scrapheap AGAIN! New Fenerbahce boss Jorge Jesus tells ex-Arsenal man he won't play for him, despite the midfielder wanting to stay, just 18 months after Gunners cut their losses on his £350k-per-week wages

Jorge Jesus has confirmed that Mesut Ozil won't play for the club again following his appointment as the new Fenerbahce manager.

Jesus, 67, referred to 'the end of the Ozil era' when speaking to the press for the first time since his appointment, and suggested it was in the best interests of the club for the former Arsenal man not to feature again.

Ozil has not played for the Turkish Super Lig side since March 20 after he was excluded from the squad following a row with interim head coach Ismail Kartal over his fitness.
