Dr Erkut Sogut (Mesut Özil’s agent) on Arteta: “He started zero games in the Premier League in his last season. He wasn’t there in the last six months at all, busy doing his coaching badges & meeting coaches for his future.” [ESPN] #afc

Sogut: “Mesut plays for one English team & that’s it. He is a Gunner in the end. Mesut is not a player who is yesterday a Toffee & today a Gunner. Arteta didn’t play at all in the final two years but they still registered him because he was given a contract.” #afc

Sogut on Arteta: “Arsène Wenger put him on the field for the final two minutes of his last game just to give him a nice moment, even though he wasn’t fit for months. Look at how [Arteta] was treated in his final two years & how Mesut is getting treated in his final year.” #afc
