#3 MESUT OZIL

Arsenal v Sunderland - Premier League
Ozil created 98 chances for last season grabbed 9 assists

The 28-year old has been under scrutiny in recent times, with his contract talks already hitting rock bottom. Ozil has only a year left on his current contract. But, the German intends to leave the Gunners for free to join ex-Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho. The two worked really well at Real Madrid as Jose created a counter-attacking machine that beat Pep's Barca to the League.

Ozil netted 8 goals and provided 9 assists in 33 league games for Arsenal last season. He created 98 chances, with an average of 2.97 per game. With a keen eye for passes, Ozil's first touch is second to none. He fits in as a perfect replacement for Silva, with both having similar playing styles and attacking attributes.

Although the German is keen on reuniting with Mourinho at Old Trafford, Guardiola should make an early swoop, trying to capture the talented midfielder.
