Date set for Ozil signing as Fenerbahce fend off rival interest to land Arsenal outcast

Fenerbahce have set a date for Mesut Ozil to complete his move from Arsenal, with club president Ali Koc expecting the relevant paperwork to be signed off on Tuesday.

The World Cup winner travelled to Turkey last weekend as he seeks to bring a long-running saga surrounding his future to a close.

Fener have a deal in place for the 32-year-old, who has been frozen out at Emirates Stadium by Mikel Arteta, but have been unable to rubberstamp that agreement.
