Mesut Ozil says he 'definitely wants' the No 10 Arsenal shirt Jack Wilshere left behind in Bournemouth loan move

Mesut Ozil sent a signal that he wants to be Arsenal's main man - by taking over the number 10 shirt Jack Wilshere vacated when he left on loan for Bournemouth.

Ozil recently claimed the same number with the German national team after Lukas Podolski announced his international retirement.
