Often considered as one of the greatest Arsenal footballers of all time, Bergkamp was known for his versatility. He was a player who could score from a minimum number of touches on the ball.

The Dutch maestro played either as a false 9 or as a second striker. Such was the resilience of the Arsenal legend, that defenders feared him more than they feared to lose a game. Bergkamp is undoubtedly a legend in his own right.

With the current Arsenal lineup full of promising talent, one such maestro who has given us a reason to believe in his ability is Mesut Ozil.

With Arsenal's recent clash against Newcastle, Mesut Ozil has proven to be much more than just a footballer who was being criticized for his behavior and performance. His comparison to Dennis Bergkamp is a result of his ability to develop inter-plays between his teammates.

Being the core of his side, Ozil truly draws a comparison to the former Dutch international. A versatile playmaker, Ozil has shown The Gunners' supporters that the legacy of Bergkamp isn't over yet.
