Mesut Ozil went from the most unifying figure at Arsenal to the most polarising before he was eventually ushered out of north London.
He jumped before he was pushed in January 2021, albeit the Gunners didn't half have to give the German a serious shove. Ozil was cast aside, initially by Unai Emery, before Mikel Arteta kept it up and eventually the World Cup winner appeared to get the message.
Ozil's highlight reel and his performances in big games could not have painted more contrasting pictures. The perception, which was largely fair, being that he didn't turn up for the heavyweight contests - and that was before he had the wage card thrown at him, such was his £350,000 weekly income.
