Mesut Ozil has NO plans to leave Fenerbahce despite being frozen out of the first-team picture, insists his agent... but he admits 'an unpleasant process has begun' with over two years left on ex-Arsenal outcast's deal

Mesut Ozil is making no plans to leave Fenerbahce despite being excluded from the squad indefinitely, according to the player's agent.

A cryptic tweet from the Turkish giants last week confirmed the former Real Madrid and Arsenal star has been excluded from interim boss Ismail Kartal's squad along with Ozan Tufan, who was on loan at Watford last season.

Football.london claimed the attacking midfielder was involved in a verbal altercation with Kartal in their victory against Konyaspor 10 days ago and is - along with worries over his fitness - the reason behind his exclusion.
