OZIL LANDS IN TURKEY: 'MY DREAM COMES TRUE'
Just in case you are only joining us for the first time today, then the big news this morning concerns Mesut Ozil, who says joining Fenerbahce will be a "dream come true" after landing in Turkey ahead of a medical with the club.
Ozil is expected to join Fenerbahce as a free agent once an early termination of his Arsenal contract - which had been due to expire in the summer - is finalised.
The paperwork is expected to be completed in the coming days before Ozil signs a three-and-a-half-year deal.
After arriving in Turkey in the early hours of Monday morning, Ozil said: "I am very excited because I was always a fan of Fenerbahce. My dream comes true.
"I am very excited to wear the Fenerbahce jersey. I hope we will be very successful with my team-mates.
"May God bless our fans, because they always support us. As I mentioned I am very happy to be here.
"I hope that I thank our fans with my good performance on the pitch."
