Mesut Ozil is a real jewel of German football. The athlete with Turkish roots quickly reached heights in his career thanks to the talent and help of his father, who early discerned bright abilities in the heir. Mesut, entering the Premier League, quickly proved his superiority in creating chances and assists.
Mesut was born in 1988 into a family of Turkish immigrants. Parents went to look for a better life in Germany, where they settled in the town of Gelsenkirchen.
Mesut became interested in football from early childhood, playing the ball all day long with the kids living in the neighborhood. The boys chose the great football player Zinedine Zidane as their idol and tried to learn his technique. The father noticed his son’s passion for playing on the grass and, when the child was 6 years old, took him to a sports school.
Ozil managed to play for such clubs as Schalke, Werder Bremen, Real Madrid. After that, he was bought by Arsenal on the last day of the transfer window, a top player for around 40 million euros.
At the end of 2017, Ozil surprised fans and football representatives with exorbitant appetites. The man said that the contract with Arsenal will be extended only if the club can pay € 395 thousand per week – an astronomical amount for members of the Premier League. Mesut was immediately accused of blackmail and even fraud, and British experts did not see a tragedy for the club in the athlete’s possible departure.
However, at the beginning of 2018, the news spread around the world that the Turk remained at Arsenal, the contract was extended for three years, and the player would be paid € 340,000 a week. Thus, Mesut Ozil became the highest paid player in the London club.
In 2020, Özil got into a big scandal related to politics and China, because of which he was left out of the application for the Premier League by Arsenal.
Now he gets his money and has not played a single match in the new season.
Mesut is married and has no children. Net Worth: $50 Million.
His card in FIFA 21 has a rating of 82.
