Mesut Ozil is in Turkey as his Arsenal teammates battle it out in Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley.
The Germany international - who retired from international football two years ago - was given permission by the Gunners to leave the country after he learned that he wouldn't be part of Mikel Arteta's matchday squad.
Ozil travelled to Turkey earlier this week, and with only 10 non-playing members of each club allowed to attend the final, the Gunners are happy for the playmaker to remain abroad.
The 31-year-old hasn't made an appearance for the Gunners since football resumed in June, with his last game for the club coming back at the beginning of March.
Ozil has been linked with several moves away from the club, but earlier this week his agent Erkut Sogut insisted that his client will see out the remaining year of his contract.
"I don't think Mesut will leave before the summer of 2021," Sogut told Turkish outlet Fanatik.
"He's got an ongoing contract that hasn't changed. He will stay with Arsenal.
"When his deal is up, I estimate there is a ninety percent chance he will leave Arsenal.
"Maybe Asia, America, Turkey? Who knows."
Gunners legend Ian Wright has insisted that there is no way back for Ozil at Arsenal.
"I think that he’s gone," he told Premier League Productions.
"It’s all about attitude. The thing is when you look at Dani Ceballos he had an attitude problem, Mikel turned him round and now he’s in the team. Matteo Guendouzi – they’re talking about him having a problem – he’s not in the team.
"Mikel’s given people the opportunity to get into the team if their attitude is right but at the minute their attitude is not right.
"Arsenal need him [Ozil] of course but I believe that he’s somebody that’s gone from Arsenal whether he stays or Mikel gets rid of him, we’re not going to see much of him."
