Ranking the top 7 left-footed footballers in the world right now

#3 Mesut Ozil (Germany, Arsenal)

Cardiff City v Arsenal FC - Premier League

Mesut Ozil is more of an artist on the football field and he has the perfect companion for his art – a heavenly left foot. Last season, the German playmaker became the quickest player to reach 50 assists in the history of the Premier League and he is the only player in the history of football, who has topped the assists charts for the season in three European Leagues – Bundesliga, LaLiga and Premier League. That is what Ozil actually is, a selfless provider on the pitch and a master of setting up people.

Ozil likes playing as an attacking midfielder and might even come across as disinterested and lazy at times, but once provided with the ball, there are few people on the planet who can see a pass like him. He likes playing higher up on the pitch and works well with a prolific striker. He is always watching and devising plans to unfold once he gets the ball and can study the game very well. His technical ability is second to none and his passing range, his first touch and his vision make him very dangerous for the opposition. He links well with his midfield and can play across the front three and even though he is not known for his speed, he does have a brilliant turn of pace in him.

Mesut Ozil is a fantastic footballer and his left foot makes him a rare breed of playmaker that is hardly seen anymore.
