The real Mesut Özil story
Özil moved from Real Madrid to Arsenal in 2013 and is now the highest-paid player in the history in the Premier League club s history, reportedly earning £350,000 (€387,000, $480,000) a week.
However, he has not played since March 2020 and coach Mikel Arteta does not appear to have included him in plans for either the Premier League or the Europa League matches for the next six months.
Özil s contract runs out at the end of the season, however Arsenal is looking to cut its numbers in January.

The loanee
After losing his Schalke spot to emerging young talent Alexander Nübel, Ralf Fährmann has left his boyhood club to try and make his mark in England, for a season at least. His new coach calls him still one of the best German keepers but the former Schalke captain will have to displace Dutch international Tim Krul between the sticks for newly promoted Norwich City.
