Keown explains what Ozil needs to do to save his Arsenal career

The German has figured just twice this season and faces more time on sidelines unless his attitude changes, according to the former centre-back

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has warned Mesut Ozil that only hard graft will get him back in Unai Emery's first-team plans.

Ozil has again been a peripheral figure at the Emirates Stadium this season with just two appearances made in total - one in the Premier League and another in the Carabao Cup.

The 30-year-old has not been called up by Unai Emery for any of Arsenal's last three matches, missing from the squads for clashes against Manchester United, Standard Liege and Bournemouth.
