Arsene Wenger says Mesut Ozil hardly trains between games

The Dutchman spent 11 years playing for Arsenal, scoring 120 goals in 423 games, winning three Premier League titles and four FA Cups with the London giants, compared to Ozil’s two FA Cups and one Community Shield.

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil is a footballer who exudes natural ability and the German doesn’t have to work too hard to set such brilliant standards, according to his manager Arsene Wenger.

Ozil’s superb run of form has been the catalyst for Arsenal’s climb to the top of the Premier League table heading into 2016.

The 27-year-old’s previous injury occurred as a result of burnout, with the Gunners boss choosing to ignore repeated calls for the player to be rested.

‘At the moment, he doesn’t practice a lot.

Walcott says Arsenal players just have to “make eye contact” with Ozil and the in-form Germany worldwide will deliver the flawless through-ball.

City’s travails have given hope to Tottenham Hotspur, who are just a point behind them in fourth place prior to their trip to Everton on Sunday, when they will be chasing a fourth successive league win.

Therefore, Wenger must sign a similar player with his sort of intelligence or better Or risk losing him to injury or fatigue when his fragile body fails.

Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott believes team-mate Mesut Ozil is playing the best football of his career. If I play Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and then Joel Campbell, that is not really rotation, but in the heart of the team at centre back or central midfield it is more risky. He is only going to get better and better.

“Obviously it always takes time when you come into a new team and new environment to get the balance right but everyone knows his strength and he is fitting in now”.

“We’ve had a fantastic half-season, it’s unbelievable what we are doing and we must continue”, said the Italian, whose team welcome Bournemouth to the King Power Stadium today.

“We are getting players back fit and we have one of the best squads when we have everyone fit, I truly believe that”. We have confidence and it is just flowing out there.
