Cash-strapped Arsenal are paying Mesut Ozil more than £315,000 a week not to play for them until the end of the season, it has been claimed.
The controversial German, who was frozen out by manager Mikel Arteta at the start of the season and left out of the club's squad, joined Fenerbahce on a free transfer during the January transfer window.
But instead of freeing themselves of Ozil's huge contract once and for all, it has been reported that the Gunners are continuing to pay the majority of the star's wages.
