Ozil to earn €3m a year at Fenerbahce after being paid €16m annual salary at Arsenal

Mesut Ozil is set to earn €3 million (£2.5m/$3.5m) a year at Fenerbahce after being paid an annual salary of €16m (£14m/$19m) at Arsenal.

Ozil signed a three-and-half year contract with Fenerbahce on Sunday after being released from his deal at Emirates Stadium six months early.

The ex-Germany international had been on Arsenal's books since 2013, scoring 44 goals in 254 appearances while getting his hands on three FA Cups, but had not played for the club since March last year.

Mikel Arteta exiled the 32-year-old, who was pocketing £350,000 per week in north London, following the Gunners' return to action post-lockdown, and he was left out of the Spaniard's Premier League and Europa League squads at the start of the new season.
