Ozil adds spice to German minister's trip to Turkey
This handout picture taken and released by the Fenerbahce.org on January 18, 2021 in Istanbul shows German midfielder Mesut Ozil posing with a Fenerbahce SK scarf upon his arrival at Ataturk International Airport.
Turkish media reports say Ozil is committing to a three-and-a-half-year deal that will see him earn up to five million euros ($6 million) a season.
He had not played for Arsenal since March despite being the London club's highest paid player with an estimated annual salary of 20 million euros.
Ankara, Turkey
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas tried his diplomatic best on Monday to sidestep the delicate issue of German international Mesut Ozil's high-profile transfer from Arsenal to Istanbul's Fenerbahce.
