Arsenal midfielder Mesut Özil retired from international soccer after this summer’s World Cup. While he hasn’t quite hung up his boots yet, and will likely be a key part of the Gunners’ 2018/19 campaign, Özil is now planning a foray into esports. He is partnering with the eSportsReputation agency to create Team Ozil.
