Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has found himself in the middle of a German scandal.
The Daily Mail says Ozil has been dragged into a public row with a fellow German footballer and accused of cheating on his pop star girlfriend Mandy Capristo.
Former Bayern Munich and Hertha Berlin player Christian Lell accused Ozil of 'muscling in' on his relationship with former girlfriend Melanie Rickinger.
"Mesut exploited his fame, and muscled in on our relationship," said Lell in BILD. "That isn't OK." Ozil himself has refused to comment on the situation.
"We are not commenting on this. We will keep an eye on the situation, and take legal action if necessary," said his agent Roland Eitel.
