5 most eagerly anticipated EPL debuts

Mesut Ozil

Who else but the £42 million man? Arguable the biggest name to arrive on the English shores in the recent past, Ozil’s signing represents a change in policy for Arsene Wenger, and Arsenal fans will still be pinching themselves upon seeing Ozil in Arsenal colours. They are only used to seeing big names leave at Emirates, aren’t they?

How Wenger intends to use Ozil will also make for interesting viewing. Will he start behind Giroud with Cazorla and Walcott out wide in a 4-2-3-1, or will he start on the wings in a 4-3-3, with the license to roam? Ozil is well-versed with either role, and it is impossible to predict how Wenger intends to use his star signing.

Regardless, one can confidently say Ozil will be in the thick of things against a Sunderland team that has no wins and only 1 point in three games, and Arsenal fans will be rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of finally seeing their new man in action.
