Mesut Özil Archives: 10/2016

Liverpool fans are now declaring that Coutinho is better than Ozil, but can that really be true?

If you had to guess who made the most ball recoveries and tackles for Arsenal against Sunderland, you’d probably pick Francis Coquelin or Mohamed Elneny. You’d be wrong.

Mesut Ozil grabbed another assist on Saturday as he delivered the corner Olivier Giroud headed home to score his second goal just seven minutes after coming on.

Mesut Ozil couldn’t wait to get on Twitter (or get his ‘people’ on Twitter) to hail Arsenal’s 4-1 win at Sunderland on Saturday and the team mentality to come back after their equaliser.

Arsene Wenger admitted, with a smile, that contract negotiations with Mesut Ozil are progressing.

Arsene Wenger has proven that he pays absolutely no attention to the Ballon D’or…

Reports on Thursday claimed that Mesut Ozil held transfer talks with Fenerbache over a move to the Turkish club, so what’s going on?

Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil both failed to make the 30-man shortlist for the Ballon D’Or and it’s got me a little concerned.

Paul Pogba, once again, failed to show up for Manchester United, prompting many Arsenal fans to ask – where is all the heavy criticism of United’s player?

Lucas Perez claims that Mesut Ozil has no interest in returning to Real Madrid and it’s not hard to see why.

Lucas Perez has told a radio station in Spain that he does not believe that Mesut Ozil wants a return to Spain amid reports that Real Madrid are interested in bringing him back to the club.

Per Mertersacker recently hailed Mesut Ozil’s fine form, claiming that this can lead Arsenal to success.

Arsene Wenger believes that Mesut Ozil’s new found eye for goal has developed because he broke away from the ‘habit’ of envisioning his role at Arsenal in a certain way.

Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Arsenal are still trying to extend both Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil’s contracts.

So, after losing 4-3 at home to Liverpool, did anyone predict that by the middle of October, Arsenal would have won nine games out of the next ten, and that Mesut Özil would have SIX times as many goals as he has assists in the Premier League and Champions League this season?

Taking a look at his goals and assists since he first arrived at the club, it was easy to work out that Mesut Ozil scores or creates a goal every 1.9 games. So what about the rest of his Arsenal stats from his time in London?

On Thursday morning stories started to emerge claiming that Mesut Ozil’s Arsenal future would not depend on money but Arsene Wenger and whether the manager remains at the club.

You never really need an excuse to watch Mesut Ozil play football, but you need one even less when he’s just scored his first ever professional hattrick.

Mesut Ozil scored his first ever professional hattrick as well as opening his assist account for the season with a 10 out of 10 performance against Ludogorets in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

In what was a weird evening, Arsenal were outpassed by Ludogorets and Mesut Ozil saw his passing stats drop, but he still left with the match ball after grabbing a hattrick and his first assist of the season.
