Unhappy Ozil sent stern message by Fenerbahce president Koc as ex-Arsenal star told to focus on football

The 33-year-old midfielder has been told to put his commercial interests to one side as he struggles for regular game time in Turkey

Mesut Ozil has been told to put his commercial interests to one side and focus on his football, with Fenerbahce president Ali Koc having delivered a stern message to the midfielder.

The 33-year-old has been playing in Turkey since January 2021 following his decision to leave Arsenal, but things haven't quite gone to plan for the former Real Madrid star since his exit from Emirates Stadium.

Indeed, Ozil, who has seen his game time limited in Istanbul, has made headlines for expressing his dissatisfaction at his situation at Fenerbahce, although Koc believes he needs to knuckle down and prove his worth to the team.
