Mesut Ozil- the contract rebel

With a Man of the Match performance in the North London derby at the Emirates Stadium, Mesut Ozil reminded everyone that he is still one of the best playmakers in Europe.

Ozil, 29, is yet to sign an extension at Arsenal and his contract is due to expire in June. He has been linked with a summer switch to Old Trafford when his contract runs out in the summer.

Ozil has been under constant criticism from Arsenal fans and he will relish the opportunity to work with Jose Mourinho again. Barcelona is also eyeing a move for Ozil but the Mourinho factor will have a say in his decision.

The king of assists has created 129 goals in his career. With his vision, control, passing range, and precision, Ozil may just be the missing piece in Mourinho's puzzle.

Arsenal have reportedly put a price tag on him and he will cost United in the region of £18 million. Mourinho will not pass up the opportunity to sign one of the most creative midfielders in the world.
