According to Dr Erkut Sogut Mesut Ozil’s departure from Gunners is totally different from that of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as he threw shots at the Chelsea striker.
Mesut Ozil’s agent has blasted Aubameyang as an fellow who isn’t loyal after seeing him join Gunners’ rival team, Chelsea following his departure from Barcelona last summer.
Following disciplinary breaches, Aubameyang was stripped off the captain band by Mikel Arteta who didn’t only froze him out of the starting eleven but also forced him to train with the reserve squad.
In attempt to find better conditions elsewhere, Auba left for Barcelona were he returned to form, netting 13 goals in 24 appearances for the Catalans before Robert Lewandowski’s arrival forced him into a £12.1million deadline day return to the Premier League but now on a rival side to his former club, Arsenal.
Dr Erkut Sogut who oversaw Ozil’s departure from Arsenal to Fenerbahçe has shared that his client can never play for a rival team to Arsenal unlike Aubameyang.
“He could never play for another English club, he’s not like Aubameyang,” Dr Sogut said to Tribal. “He loved his time at Arsenal and is still in contact with a lot of players, not least [Bukayo] Saka – they have a special relationship.”
A £350,000-a-week contract disagreement saw Ozil witness a bitter ending to his Arsenal career just like Aubameyang despite producing 44 goals and 78 assists in 254 games for the North Londoners.
According to the player’s agent, he was actually offered a chance to stay in the Premier League by other teams but out of Loyalty, he had to turn down the offer.
In continuation, Dr Erkut Sogut said; “He always said ‘I’m a Gunner in and out’ and if there was a discussion to go to another Premier League club, even after two or three years when he was at Arsenal, before the contract negotiations to get a new one, it would have never, ever happened. It was impossible for him. He was like ‘Look, if you’re a Gunner, you can’t go to play for another Premier League club.
The agent suggested that his client was wrongly managed by the current Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta; “I just ask for fair treatment like with any other player,” he said. “But to not be in the squad at all, that was a couple of days before the window was closing and it was too late for us to react anyway.
“Maybe three days, four days before when I was told he might not be in the squad at all, he might not be listed. So that was a surprise. First for the Europa League and then for the Premier League as well, that was not expected by us at all. The coach didn’t want him in the squad and the player has to accept that, what can you do?”
