Most valuable Premier League XI based on market value

#8 Mesut Ozil - Central Midfielder €50 million (Arsenal)

Arsenal’s assist king Mesut Ozil is the only Arsenal player to feature on this list. The German has been in superb form this season and is one of the main reasons why Arsenal are still alive in the race for the Premier League title.

A left-footed player, his main attributes are his vision, his control, and his passing range and accurate crossing ability, which allows him to create chances, and provide many assists for team-mates.Özil has been called "assist-king" in the media. As of January 2016, Özil has the best ratio of assists per game in the history of the Premier League.

Former Germany teammate Phillip Lahm said of Özil "His vision is probably the best I have ever seen... He is a dream for strikers.", while Mario Gomez called Özil "probably the most brilliant footballer we have or ever had".
