Mesut Ozil left Arsenal under a cloud in January 2021, ending an eight-year spell in north London in which he won three FA Cups.
Mikel Arteta could find nowhere in his side for the World Cup winner, and banished him from both his Premier League and Europa League squads, effectively forcing Ozil's hand to leave.
Ozil joined the team he supported as a boy, Turkish giants Fenerbahce, and severed his ties with Arsenal six months early despite previously insisting he would see out the entirety of his Emirates contract. He also took a £290,000-a-week pay cut in the process.
