Is Mesut Ozil really leaving Arsenal FC because of Number 10 jersey?
By Ediale Kingsley
We may not be directly doubting The Sun’s exclusive on Mesut Ozil being prepared to stay at Arsenal if he gets the No. 10 shirt, but…
The story (online version) is written by a Matt Heath-Smith, whose Twitter bio describes himself as ‘Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V at The Sun Newspaper’. Now we also aren’t saying that Heath-Smith doesn’t have contacts with Ozil…but it does require a leap of faith.
The paper version of the story – an exclusive, remember – is attributed to Carl Long. That’s particularly harsh on Heath-Smith given that Carl Long doesn’t actually exist. If it’s Heath-Smith’s story (and you namechecked him online), why not give him credit. Unless…well.
Given that the story over Ozil wanting Wilshere’s shirt number first came out in 2016 and that Ozil even said himself he wanted it in January, it’s not quite an exclusive.
