Mesut Ozil

Like many other central attacking midfielders who regularly top the assists charts, Mesut Ozil has not had a great season on that front. The Arsenal man who recently extended his contract in return for club-record wages has only made 8 assists in the league this season.

But this is more a reflection of the players he has around him who have regularly failed to put away chances. Even his best partner in recent season Alexis Sanchez had a forgetful five months before his move to Manchester United.

Ozil has created 84 chances in the Premier League this season despite playing far fewer minutes than the likes of Eriksen, Alli, and Kevin De Bruyne.

This is a season where Arsenal have realised that the old formula wasn't working and have taken steps to address that by bringing in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The hope for Gunners fans is that by the time the next season gets underway, they would have forged a good understanding to compete for the league title.

Key Stat: Since his debut in 2006, Ozil is the only player to have created over 1,000 goal-scoring chances in the league (1,006)!
