Mesut Ozil endures nightmare start at new club after Fenerbahce ripped up contract

Mesut Ozil suffered a massive defeat in his first appearance for Istanbul Basaksehir's reserve team on Wednesday afternoon.

Ozil, 33, joined the Turkish side on a one-year deal last month after his Fenerbahce contract was terminated by mutual consent. It's been a turbulent time for the World Cup winner, who hasn't played a senior game since he was suspended by Fenerbahce in March.

Ozil is hoping to rebuild his career in Turkey following his exit from Arsenal in January 2021. The playmaker didn't play during the final eight months of his time at the Emirates and had his contract ripped up after falling out of favour with manager Mikel Arteta.
