REVEALED: How Mezut Ozil's Obsession With Beautiful Women Threatened His Football Career

German-born Ozil’s weakness for beautiful women was a major factor in Real Madrid’s decision to sell him, it was reported.

New Arsenal star Mesut Ozil’s obsession with a former Miss Venezuela could have threatened his football career, it was ­reported yesterday.

The £42.5million ace is said to have worn himself out flying to Italy several times a month to see Milan-based ­model Aida Yespica – once dubbed the world’s hottest WAG.

German-born Ozil’s weakness for beautiful women was a major factor in Real Madrid’s decision to sell him, according to Spanish newspaper El Mundo.

It claimed: “The early morning trips, ­extended to the last minute of passion, led to a down affecting his performances.”

Ozil, 24, Arsenal’s best-paid player on £150,000 a week, allegedly hired a ­private plane at £15,000 a time to visit Yespica, 31.

A practising Muslim who recites the Koran before games, Ozil is now dating singer Mandy Capristo.
