Fenerbahce have released a statement denying reports they're planning a move for Arsenal star Mesut Ozil, as such a transfer would not be financially possible for the Turks.
Per Goal's Ryan Benson, they heaped praise on the midfielder but also threw cold water on the speculation:
"Mesut Ozil, with his career and standing, successfully represents our country abroad (Ozil is of Turkish ancestry). He is an important value known with the identity of Fenerbahce.
"However, Fenerbahce does not have a proposal for Mesut Ozil. Under the current economic conditions, such a step is not possible for both parties.
