1: Mesut Ozil (Germany)
At the age of 27, the Gelsenkirchen lad has the world at his feet. Just one assist behind (19) the record of most number of assists in a season (20) and a PFA Player of the Year nominee, the Arsenal playmaker has had, arguably his best season in Arsenal colours.
Pinpoint crossing, marvellous through balls, deadly set-piece deliveries are all part of Ozil’s vast skillset. His chance creation stats are over the top, delivering an average of 3.4 key passes per game from open play.
His vision is hawk-like and with the likes of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Julian Draxler by his side, Ozil can tire out his opponents by his immaculate passing. With quality up front in the form of Thomas Muller, Ozil’s passes will not go to waste. In this kind of form, Ozil is Germany’s best player heading to the Euros and will look to carry his team through the knockout stages.
