'Selfish Ozil is not bothered about Arsenal' - Gunners star slammed for missing FA Cup win

Mesut Ozil is “not bothered” about Arsenal and showed his selfishness by going to Turkey instead of joining in with the team’s FA Cup celebrations, according to Perry Groves.

The Gunners lifted the trophy for the 14th time in their history after a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday, with two goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang cancelling out an early strike from Christian Pulisic.

The players, management and staff continued their celebrations well after the final whistle, but midfielder Ozil was not present.
