Signed by Arsenal from Real Madrid back in 2013, Ozil was the Gunners' marquee summer signing and quickly established himself as one of the club's most influential players. The midfield maestro continued to excel for the Londoners in the seasons that followed, but he found himself out in the cold under Mikel Arteta. The Spaniard took charge in December 2019 and ostracised Ozil following the Covid-19 pandemic. Arteta's stance didn't soften the following campaign, either, with Ozil effectively frozen out until he eventually joined his boyhood club, Fenerbahce, in January 2021. Ozil's career has taken plenty of turns since he swapped Madrid for London, but it seems as though a new role could be on the horizon for the former Germany international... Unsurprisingly, Ozil wasn't particularly full of warmth for Arteta after he was frozen out at the Emirates - and the duo's feud continued even after Ozil had signed on the dotted line for Fenerbahce. Using the power of social media, Ozil was the first person to rub salt into Arteta's wounds after Arsenal were trounced 5-0 by Manchester City back in August 2021. The chastening result increased the growing pressure on Arteta and Ozil picked his moment with a simple yet effective tweet: "Trust the process". Ozil's mischievous post sparked a frenzy amongst both the media and the fanbase - which would have been precisely the last thing Arteta needed at the time. Join the debate! Do you think Arteta was right to bin Ozil? Let us know here. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Ozil and Arsenal's damning divorce is that it came shortly after the playmaker put pen to paper on a lucrative new contract. Unfo){kind=link}
