"For me, he's the best in the world," he told Marca. "When you're on the pitch against him, what you're thinking is that he doesn't have his best day. "It's very difficult [to stop him]. You have to cover a lot of ground, always help in defence... and hope it's not his day. "You know he's going to start a move, you see it, you prepare to cover it... and then he does it.

He just loves to assist - Ozil lends helping hand at Arsenal training ground

Image
Latest News RSS feed He just loves to assist - Ozil lends helping hand at Arsenal training ground Mesut Ozil broke Eric Cantona's record in becoming the fastest player to reach 50 Premier League assists on Sunday, but it isn't just on the pitch where he is helpful. Ozil set up his 50th goal in 141 matches by laying on the opener for Shkodran Mustafi as Arsenal beat Watford 3-0, Arsene Wenger claiming his 700th win as Gunners boss in the process. And, as Arsenal revealed on Twitter, Ozil has been just as important to the club's staff at the training ground. A Twitter video released by the club shows Ozil helping answer the phone and clean up in the bootroom. He even helps zip up a staff member's coat. Perhaps Wenger should get some tips! Be it on the pitch or at the training ground, @MesutOzil1088 just loves to assist pic.twitter.com/Ua649ktbSX — Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) March 11, 2018 more info...
