Arsène Wenger welcomes transfer from Mesut Özil to Fenerbahçe

Put in the fridge for several months at Arsenal by Mikel Arteta, Mesut Özil (32) ended up leaving London and joining Istanbul where he signed up until 2023. This is what delighted Arsène Wenger, who had recruited him from Arsenal in 2013.

« I’m sure he’s very frustrated to play anymore. His desire for football must be enormous, explained the French coach to beIN Sports. Mesut is a guy who needs a warm environment and I believe he will find that in Turkey »

« If his physical condition is good, it will not take more than three or four games to be at his best. Wenger continued.
