‘Join that club’ – Family urge Mesut Ozil to leave Arsenal for Euro giants

Mesut Ozil has been closely linked with a move to Fenerbahce over the past few months.

Ozil has also been spotted in Istanbul quite frequently recently and is reported to be on the look out for property.

The self-confessed Fenerbahce fan is also facing pressure from his family to join the Turkish giants.

Ozil responded to questions regarding potentially joining Fenerbahce over the summer.

The 28-year-old was as diplomatic as ever, underlining his dedication to Arsenal but refusing to rule out the chance of joining the Yellow Canaries.

“Many people ask me that question [about Fenerbahce], my family, my friends,” the World Cup winner was quoted as saying by Fanatik.

“When they hear something like that they keep telling me: “Join that club” or “Go there!” But at the moment I have a contract at Arsenal and I do not think about Turkey or other leagues.

“You can never know what is going to happen in the future. I feel very, very comfortable here.

“We’ll see about the rest.”

The World Cup winner will have 12 months left on his contract this summer and has yet to sign an extension which has resulted in speculation about his future at the North London club.

Ozil is a Germany international but his family are from Turkey and he has strong ties to his parents homeland.

The 28-year-old is fluent in Turkish and is a popular celebrity.
