Istanbul: Arsenal outcast Mesut Ozil arrived in Turkey on Sunday to complete his move to Fenerbahce, insisting he is match-fit.

Ozil, 32, had not played for the London side since March and was left out of the club's Premier League and Europa League squads at the start of the season. He has long been linked with a move to Fenerbahce, Turkey's second most decorated club.

Mesut Ozil arrives at Fenerbahce to complete his signing for the Turkish club.

Signed in 2013 for a then-club record fee of about £42 million from Real Madrid, Ozil played a crucial role under Arsene Wenger in ending Arsenal's trophy drought, winning the FA Cup in his first season.

But he found himself marginalised under Wenger's replacement Unai Emery and again by current manager Mikel Arteta, who said the player's omission from the squad was for "football reasons."
