Arsenal midfielder Ozil settles ugly cash row with Dad

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has settled a compensation dispute with his father outside of court.

Ozil sacked his father Mustafa as managing director of his marketing company last year only for Mustafa Ozil to file a complaint for loss of earnings totalling €630 000.

The current stakeholders of the World Cup-winner's firm, Ozil Marketing GmbH, had made a counter claim, demanding repayment of a loan worth €1 million and the return of a company car from Ozil senior.

However, Duesseldorf's district court confirmed the dispute has been settled. For the last 12 months Ozil's affairs have been looked after by his brother Mutlu.
