Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has personally invited Turkey president Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his upcoming wedding with long time girlfriend and model Amine Gulse, who accompanied the former German international to Istanbul in order to hand over the invitation letter to the Turkey leader earlier this Saturday.

Ozil came under heavy fire following Germany’s dismal World Cup campaign last summer after the former Real Madrid star was pictured with the Turkish leader, alongside compatriot, Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan, prior to the contest.

Ozil, who has Turkish ancestry, was slammed by the fans online and soon after by DFB president Reinhard Grindel, who demanded the midfielder be laid off the squad before the commencement of the World Cup.

Ozil later took to social media to announce his retirement from international football and accused Grindel as well as the DFB and the German fans of racism and “belittling”  him and his achievements with the team.

Miss Turkey 2014 winner Amine, who also has Turkish ancestry, got engaged to the Arsenal playmaker earlier this January, and talks of their wedding surfaced in the later weeks when Arsenal head coach Unai Emery disclosed the news prior to their then clash against West Ham.

FourFourTwo reports Ozil and Amine met Erdogan at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport to invite the leader to their wedding in person.
