Mesut Ozil

And finally, the man of the moment – Mesut Ozil. The German international moved to the Emirates for a club record fee of £42.5 million. This transfer shattered the previous transfer record at Arsenal by nearly £25 million. Ozil has been in fine form over the past three years since his move to Real Madrid. During his time at the Bernabeu, he provided 47 assists in La Liga, the joint-most by any player across Europe’s top four leagues (Lionel Messi being the other player with 47 assists to his name during the same period).
