The Arsenal maestro was nothing short of brilliant last season, notching up assist after assist as Arsenal finished second in the Premier League. The German playmaker had 19 assists last season, falling one short of Thierry Henry’s all-time record of 20 assists in the Premier League.

Ozil also confirmed his status as the most creative player in Europe by creating a staggering 181 chances over the course of the season in all competitions, a record for any player.

The left-footed midfielder seemed to find the tiniest gaps with his incisive passing and now that he has added goals to his game, Ozil is considered to be one of the best players in the world at the moment.

Ozil together with Sanchez is the heart and soul of this Arsenal side and Wenger will be desperate to tie the talented duo to new long-term contracts at Arsenal.
