Mesut Ozil will quit football and become a gamer if Fenerbahce stick to their word

Mesut Ozil is in line for a shock career as a professional gamer should he fail to find a way back into the Fenerbahce first team.

The former Arsenal star -who saw his contract ripped up at the Emirates - has now fallen out of first-team contention with the Istanbul giants following a public falling out with former boss Ismail Kartal. As a result, he has not taken to the pitch in any capacity since a 2-1 victory against Konyaspor back in March.

It was hoped that he would find a route back into the club’s plans amid the appointment of new boss Jorge Jesus but the Portuguese has confirmed that Ozil has already ‘had his time’ and that he would not be relied on next term despite there still being two years left on his deal.
