Arsenal signing Mesut Ozil's father launches astonishing attack on Real chief Perez
MESUT OZIL'S father has launched a stinging attack on Real Madrid president Florentino Perez for his comments about his son.
Perez came under fire for selling Ozil on deadline day and implied that the German schemer "wasn't a good professional and was obsessed with women and nightlife."
The decision to sell Ozil bemused the German 's former colleagues who lambasted it a mistake.
But Ozil's father, Mustafa, didn't mince his words when he reacted to Perez's comments.
"Just because a man earns a lot of money, doesn't mean he's a man of honour, and Perez is no man of honour," he told German paper Bild.
"Mesut is supposed to be the scapegoat now and I'm the greedy father. A put-up game. We will defend ourselves legally.
"If Mesut had an unprofessional life in Madrid, then why did he always play?
"They want to blame him now, because the fans and team-mates are angry."
