5 players who have impressed for Arsenal this season

#4 Mesut Ozil

Mesut Ozil joined Arsenal in 2013.

Before Alexis Sanchez left Arsenal, many thought that he was the man Arsenal was heavily reliant upon. Indeed, Sanchez is a goalscorer for Arsenal and he has often saved Arsenal from losing. After his departure, it seems like this German international is actually the main mastermind behind the successes at Arsenal.

This is no wonder why Arsenal had been so desperate for him to stay with the club and Ozil has committed his future recently.

There hardly is anyone on the pitch with a better vision than him. Although his lack of defensive attributes has garnered lots of negative comments, when it comes to attacking, the game is in his hands.

Cutting a lethargic figure the last few seasons and always staying up front, Ozil has since been more involved in tracking back. Once he gets the ball from deep play, he advances it forward, doing what he does best.

Since Ozil made his league debut in 2006, he has created more than a thousand goal scoring chances in the top five leagues, becoming the only player to achieve such a milestone.

Despite so much pressure and attention on him, when Arsenal needed him most, he stood up to support the attacks and gave all his best. Even amidst all the fuelling rumours surrounding his future, he has never showed his displeasure in playing for the team.

In the next few seasons, fans will be expecting a lot from him given that he will be earning a reported salary worth up to 350 thousand per week.
