Mesut Ozil was pictured wearing a Turkish flag chain as he arrived at the Emirates Stadium ahead of Arsenal's Europa League semi-final with Valencia.

The 30-year-old started on Thursday night as Unai Emery's side took a 3-1 lead into the return leg in Spain in a week's time.

His choice of neck wear comes in the aftermath of his high-profile fallout and retirement from the German national team.
