		</div><p>Mesut Ozil said goodbye to his Arsenal team-mates on Sunday as a move to Fenerbahce moves closer.</p>
<p>The PA news agency understands the 32-year-old was at the club’s London Colney training ground to bid his farewells ahead of the imminent end of his seven-and-a-half-year stay.</p>
<p>Ozil will now travel to Turkey ahead of a medical, with the formalities expected in the coming days.</p>
<p>The 32-year-old has not played for the Gunners since March and his £350,000-a-week deal was set to expire at the end of the current season.</p>
<p>Ozil had been expected to leave in the January transfer window and would be able to sign for another club as a free agent should the final few details be ironed out smoothly.</p>
<p>Having started the first 10 games under Mikel Arteta following his appointment in December 2019, Ozil has not featured since a 1-0 win over West Ham before the coronavirus pandemic saw football grind to a halt.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>He was omitted from Arsenal’s Premier League and Europa League squads, with Arteta and technical director Edu insisting the decision was down to footballing reasons.</p>
<p>Ozil was criticised in some quarters when he refused to take a pay-cut during the summer, with no football being played and Arsenal looking to balance the books.</p>
<p>He had signed his current deal in January 2018 to become the highest-paid player in the club’s history but now looks set to depart on a free.</p>
