All-time great
Mesut Ozil began his career in Germany at Schalke and Werder Bremen before moving to Real Madrid in the summer of 2010, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup.
He joined Arsenal for a then club record fee of £42.4m in September 2013, winning back-to-back FA Cups in his first two seasons before being named player of the season in his third, and then winning the cup again in 2017.
He joined Fenerbahce on a free transfer in January 2021 and then made the switch to Basaksehir in July 2022.
All in all, Ozil won nine trophies during his club career including four FA Cups and the Spanish La Liga title in 2012.
He also won 92 caps for Germany and played a key role in Germany's 2014 World Cup-winning campaign in Brazil.
Ozil was named Germany Player of the Year five times and was part of the side that reached the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012.
End of an Era
As some of you may be unaware, Ozil was most recently signed with Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir, playing in the Super Lig.
The German attacking midfielder has struggled massively with various injuries this season, making only four league appearances this campaign.
The 34-year-old made the announcement that he will retire in a post on his Twitter account.
"I've had the privilege to be a professional football player for almost 17 years now and I feel incredibly thankful for the opportunity," he said.
Ozil went on to say: "But in recent weeks and months, having also suffered some injuries, it's become more and more clear that it's time to leave the big stage of football."
"It has been an amazing journey filled with unforgettable moments and emotions."
