[인터풋볼] Reporter Shin Dong-hoon = Arsenal legend Martin Kean expressed regret for Mesut Ozil (32, Arsenal)’s determination to go to Fenerbahce.
Özil left Real Madrid in 2013 to join Arsenal. Özil, who was the best playmaker of the time, also showed his skills in the English Premier League (EPL). The peak was the 2015-16 season. This season, Özil played the best part in 35 EPL matches, scoring 6 goals and 19 assists. After Arsene Wenger followed by Unai Emeri, Özil remained in the lead position.
However, after the appointment of coach Mikel Arteta, it was completely separated from his power. Özil was excluded from the roster of the EPL 25 this season and the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League (UEL) list. Since March 2020, even one game has not appeared in the official match. For Özil, it was the worst humiliating period of his career.
Özil sought a transfer. As the contract with Arsenal expires in June of this year, Özil can now freely talk about the transfer with other teams under the rules of Bossman. It has been continuously connected with the US Major League Soccer (MLS) and Turkish Super League teams.
Turkey’s Fenerbahce transfer is confirmed. Fenerbahce director Murat Jorlu said from mid-December, “Ozil will join our team. It will be recruited within a month, and more than 90% is definite.”
British’mirror’ also said on the 6th (Korean time) that “Ozil agreed to transfer to Fenerbahce. The contract term will be three years.” After that, Özil’s older brother Mutlu posted a Fenerbahce emblem and a wink emoticon on social media, and Özil’s Fenerbahçe journey became a prerequisite.
Keen, who has been active at Arsenal for 11 years, said, “It is a pity that a player like Özil cannot appear in the game. Özil will not be evaluated as an Arsenal legend. If Özil had shown the same fighting spirit as Kieran Tierney, who has been devoted recently, his genius might have combined to become the best player of Arsenal history.”
