Ozil took his time to adjust to the English game, however, he was superb in 2015-16, establishing himself as a passing magician. The German recorded 20 assists last season, and few can be categorised as orthodox. The German produced one such moment of magic in a home game against Aston Villa.

The ball was cleared by the Arsenal defence and it fell to Ozil with only Olivier Giroud in front of him. The ball was at waist-height and while most players would have trapped it and waited for support, Ozil had other ideas.

He played a ridiculous yet deft flick with the side of his boot to set Olivier Giroud free on goal. Giroud did the rest and finished off the move. But all credit has to go to the German maestro.
