Mesut Ozil has fuelled talk of a move to Fenerbahce after insisting they are the only Turkish club he would be willing to sign for.
Frozen out of the Arsenal first-team under Mikel Arteta, Ozil has been strongly linked with a move away from the Emirates this month with Fenerbahce and MLS side DC United holding talks with the playmaker.
Responding during a Twitter Q&A, Twitter wrote: “I grew up as a Fenerbahce fan as a kid in Germany – every German-Turkish person supports a Turkish team when they grow up in Germany. And mine was Fenerbahce. Fenerbahce is like Real Madrid in Spain. The biggest club in the country.”
After being asked if he will continue his career when his contract with Arsenal ends, he added: “I definitely will. There are two countries I want to play football in before I retire: Turkey and United States. If I went to Turkey, I could only go to Fenerbahce.”
