Arsenal's Ozil saga ends as forward joins Turkish side Fenerbahce

Mesut Ozil has left Arsenal to join Turkish side Fenerbahce.

Ozil, 32, spent seven-and-a-half years at Arsenal after joining from Real Madrid in 2013 for a then-club record fee of £42.5 million and went on to win the FA Cup three times. He also helped the club reach the Carabao Cup final in 2018 and the Europa League final in 2019, as well as making 184 Premier League appearances.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said: "Mesut's achievements at Arsenal are undisputed. It was a privilege to play alongside him and, more recently, coach him.
