Mesut Özil is only allowed to play for the youth team at Arsenal.
The former DFB team player published a statement.
An English legend gives pity.
A few years ago,
Mesut Özil was
one of the figureheads of the Premier League *
at Arsenal FC
.
Those days are over.
At the "Gunners" the
ex-DFB star was
deleted from the list.
In a Twitter post, the
32-year-old midfielder
comments with emotional words.
Update from October 21, 5:29 p.m .:
Mesut Özil
has
taken note of
his recent disembarkation from
Arsenal
with “deep disappointment”.
“I have sworn my loyalty and loyalty to Arsenal, the club I love.
It makes me sad that this is not answered, ”wrote Özil in a lengthy statement on Wednesday on Twitter.
Mesut Özil removed from Arsenal's squad - Lineker gives consolation
On Tuesday, Arsenal announced that the 2014 World Champion was not
part of
the Gunners'
Premier League squad
.
This means that a league use is excluded this year.
The 32-year-old, who last played for the Gunners on March 7, was recently not nominated for the Europa League.
The big earner (350,000 pounds per week) is only allowed to play in the U23 for the time being.

“I've always tried to stay positive from week to week and hoped that maybe I can get back to the team quickly.
That's why I've been silent so far, ”explained Özil.
Before the corona break, he was satisfied with his development under
team manager Mikel Arteta
: "But then things changed again and I was no longer allowed to play for Arsenal."
London still feels like home, said the former Schalke: “No matter what happens.
I'm going to fight for my chance and not let my
eighth season at Arsenal FC
end like this.
“Meanwhile, Özil received encouragement from Gary Lineker.
“Every footballer wants to play.
It destroys the soul when you are not allowed to - regardless of the salary, ”tweeted the ex-professional.
Mesut Özil: Exiled Arsenal star incites fans against club leadership
Original article:
Munich / London -
Mesut Özil scored
- not in the goal, he has not done that in public for a long time.
He hit the bull's eye with a tweet.
The former German international, who is
outside
Arsenal
, brought himself
into the limelight
with an
emotional tweet
about the
London club's
discarded
mascot
.
Not only European top stars like Kylian Mbappé or Franck Ribéry liked his tweet, armies of Arsenal fans are also turned against the club leadership by the midfield star who was shot.
A brilliant PR coup for Özil.
... so Jerry can continue his job that he loves so much.

Arsenal FC: mascot "Gunnersaurus" sacked after 27 years at the club - Özil reacts
The background is this: The cult mascot "
Gunnersaurus
" has been scrapped by the club, after 27 years with the club.
The reason is obvious: the corona pandemic, which does not allow fans.
Jerry Quy
, the man in the dinosaur costume, reportedly earned £ 50,000 a year, which was probably too much for Arsenal officials.
Like 50 other employees, he was
laid off
.
Özil did not like this.
He tweeted: “
I was so sad
that Jerry Quy, our famous and loyal mascot
Gunnersaurus
and an integral part of our club, was
phased out
.
I'm offering to pay Arsenal our big green guy's salary for
as long as I'm a player at the club.
So that Jerry can keep doing the job he loves so much. ”He added a #justicefor gunnersaurus -“ Justice for Gunnersaurus ”.
Hundreds of thousands of likes from current and former Aresenal kickers and other football fans later there is only one big loser: Arsenal FC looks bad, Özil, on the other hand, is celebrated.
Tense relationship between Mesut Özil and Arsenal FC - he should go, but doesn't want to
50,000 pounds - exactly the amount that Özil collects a day, and that since the beginning of March for doing nothing.
Since the end of June, Özil was no longer in the squad for the capital city.
But Özil is still the
top earner
at Arsenal.
According to SID, he has a good relationship with coach Mikel Arteta, but the bosses would love to get rid of the Germans.
Özil does not play along here
.
“I decide when I go, not others.”
His contract runs until next summer.
There had been discussions at the beginning of the pandemic when Özil did not want to forego 12.5 percent of his salary like other kickers.
According to Özil, he would have done this if the club had promised him not to fire anyone.
It's spicy that Arsenal
paid
50 million euros for Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid
on the day Quys Aus became known at the club
.
The "Daily Mail" writes Ozil had his "not lost instinct for the perfect attack and a sense of timing." The DFB
world champion of 2014
currently brings up no defenses, but club bosses sweat.
