Amid reports that the playmaker has been left out of the Gunners team for his poor work-rate, one former player has saluted Emery
Unai Emery's decision to take Mesut Ozil out of the Arsenal starting line-up means that nobody can afford to rest on their laurels, according to Lee Harper.
Ozil has been the Gunners' standard-bearer since moving to north London in 2013 from Real Madrid.
The former Germany international has forged a reputation as one of the Premier League's elite playmakers, breaking several assist records for Arsenal while also racking up more than 40 goals in his 208 appearances.
