Arsenal fans believe that Mesut Ozil will be a vital player in ending the trophy drought. It has been a long wait for them and now former Arsenal legend, Robert Pires believes the same.

Robert Pires said, “I think Arsene Wenger and Arsenal have signed a world class player in Mesut Ozil. He is in my opinion, the best No 10 in Europe. He has proven it with Real Madrid and with Germany. For me, he is exactly the player the team was missing.

“It is an amazing coup that Arsenal made this summer not only in football terms as Ozil will strengthen the team, but it will give the rest of the squad more confidence and opponents will fear Arsenal again.”

These words of confidence came from none other than the one who has been there and done that.

“If I had to compare Ozil with someone I played in my career, I think I would say that he has a bit of Zinedine Zidane in him, in terms of vision, touch and genius to make others play around him,” Pires added.

Ozil is the biggest signing that Arsenal have ever made. It will be exciting to wait and watch his contributions towards achieving success with his new club.
