Mesut Ozil's shirt number for Fenerbahce has been decided

Mesut Ozil has dropped a massive hint as to what shirt number he will wear at Fenerbahce.

The midfielder will sign for the Turkish giants within the next 24 hours and football.london understands that he's set to travel to Istanbul on Sunday night as he leaves Arsenal after eight years.

Ozil tweeted '67' which is believed to be a reference to the shirt number he will wear at Fenerbahce.

The former Real Madrid star will wear the number 67 as his hometown of Zonguldak in Turkey has a postal code beginning with 67.

Ozil has not played for Arsenal since March due to what Mikel Arteta says are 'footballing reasons', but the club finally reached an agreement to terminate his contract on Saturday which will pave the way for his move to Fener.

He made 184 league appearances for the Gunners during his time at the club, scoring 33 times having arrived from Real Madrid for a then-record £42.5million transfer fee.
