2015-16 Premier League: Team of the season

Central Attacking Midfielder – Mesut Ozil (Arsenal)

Mesut Ozil has enhanced his reputation as the assist master. The German playmaker started off the season in stunning form playing many key passes and scoring crucial goals. The left-footed magician seemed to find the gap in the tiniest of spaces making the ball travel in improbable angles.

One of the stars of this Arsenal side, Ozil’s form was so good that many people believed that this would finally be the year that Wenger and his men won the Premier League title. However, Ozil’s form slightly tapered off in the second half of the season and Arsenal struggled to unlock defences without the German pass master.

With a record-breaking 19 assists this season in the Premier League, Arsenal's Ozil has definitely been the creator in chief for the Gunners.
