Former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas paid tribute to Mesut Ozil after he announced his retirement from all forms of football on Wednesday.
The Spanish maestro took to Twitter to do so as odes poured in for the German legend, who played for the Gunners from 2013 to 2021.
Cesc Fabregas joined the party to congratulate Arsenal hero Mesut Ozil on an incredible career as he announced his retirement from the beautiful game.

Several Arsenal fans will recall the day the silky creator signed for the club from Real Madrid on deadline day as one they will cherish forever, as he was widely viewed as the best No.10 on the globe at the time.
While Ozil’s early years at the Emirates Stadium were glorious, things petered out for him after he signed a contract extension in 2018.
However, Mesut Ozil can look back on his time at Arsenal and almost every club where he played for with pride after his retirement, with Cesc Fabregas now singing his praises.
“Thank you for making this beautiful game more special. Good luck for the future”, the Spanish wizard said.

Sure, things ended on a sour note between the 34-year-old and Mikel Arteta’s side.
However, as Cesc Fabregas said upon his retirement, Mesut Ozil brought magic to every side where he played his football, including Arsenal.
The World Cup winner’s unforgettable 2015/2016 campaign is one that still gets heralded to this day as one of the finest individual seasons from a player in red and white during the Premier League era, as he registered an incredible 19 assists.
During the Emirates era at least, the technically gifted maestro should be looked at as one of their most naturally talented players.
