Ex-Arsenal attacker Ozil: Fener always my childhood love

Former Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil says he's enjoying his football at Fenerbahce.

Ozil struck his first goal on the weekend against Adana Demirspor.

He told L'Equipe: “Fener is my childhood love. It was a real dream for me to wear this jersey one day.

"It has now been seven months since I signed, and every day I see what it means to play for this club a little more. Obviously, that generates a lot of pressure.

"But I see it as a motivation. When you are given so much attention and love, exclusive love, you owe it to yourself to give the best in return."
