Shkodran Mustafa angered Arsenal fans by bidding farewell to Mesut Ozil in a strange tweet

Shkodran Mustafa angered Arsenal fans as he bid farewell to the “unselfish” Mesut Ozil after the German ended Arsenal’s nightmare by joining Turkey’s Fenerbahce team.

Ozil, 32, is set to be officially revealed as a Fenerbahçe player after his £ 350,000 contract per week early by Arsenal with the midfielder never having played for the club this season.

The mercurial midfielder achieved years of success after joining in 2013 but left under a dark cloud after being banished from the team in recent seasons under former coach Unai Emery and current coach Mikel Arteta.
