Arsenal star Mesut Ozil is preparing for the pre-season US tour amid persistent rumors from the Turkish media claiming he could join Fenerbahce.
Fanatik claimed yesterday that Fenerbahce want to loan Ozil and are prepared to pay £8.5m of his wages and that Arsenal will pay the remaining £5.5m.
Turkish-Football can confirm that Ozil will not be joining the Yellow Canaries and that he will remain an Arsenal player.
The playmaker is preparing and looking forward to the 2019-20 season with Arsenal.
Ozil shared an Instagram post from training today revealing that he is ‘putting in some work’ before pre-season in the United States.
