Arsenal allowed Mesut Ozil to join Fenerbahce in January for the remainder of his contract, and their president Ali Koc claims that they didn’t pay a penny for the deal, nor towards his wages.

Ozil has since agreed a three-year deal with the Turkish giants, tying him to the Super Lig club until 2024.
