Marine joke they rejected chance to sign Mesut Ozil for FA Cup fairytale tie against Tottenham

MARINE have jokingly claimed they rejected the chance to sign Arsenal outcast Mesut Ozil to help beat north London rivals Tottenham.

The Merseyside club are attempting to achieve the greatest upset in FA Cup history when they face Jose Mourinho’s side at Rossett Park.

Marine have trolled Mesut Ozil ahead of their FA Cup clash with Spurs

Marine, who feature in the eighth tier of English football, are 161-places below Spurs – the largest gap between two sides in the competition ever.

Unfortunately, the UK’s lockdown will mean Paul Leary’s men will be without fans when they face the Premier League giants.

However, Spurs have helped Marine in managing to sell over 21,000 virtual tickets to help the club’s finances.

But the Mariners have assured supporters they don’t need help on the pitch after joking that they rejected Ozil’s services for Sunday’s clash.

They tweeted: “TEAM NEWS. On Friday @Arsenal offered us Ozil on loan to help us beat @SpursOfficial.

“I’m sorry our bench is already sorted unfortunately.”

And fans were in stiches at Marine’s trolling, with one replying: “Just like that, Marine became a second club to millions of Spurs fans.”

Another said: “Let me be clear. This tweet alone has caused me to buy a ticket for tonight. Top work Marine admin.”

Ozil meanwhile will offer Arsenal the chance to get him out of the club this month, SunSport revealed this weekend.

The German has options to leave the Emirates during the transfer window but the Gunners would need to cough up the remainder of his £350,000-a-week deal which still has six months to run.

Turkish club Fenerbahce are working hard to try to sign Ozil but an agreement is far from in place.
