Emmanuel Petit Laments Mesut Ozil's Recent Displays While Branding Arsenal Defence 'Average'

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has claimed that Mesut Ozil has 'lost his desire' at the club and believes they need to add players in January to improve their 'average' defence.

Ozil, who was taken off at half-time during Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Brighton on Boxing Day, has been linked with a move away from club in the upcoming transfer window, with Petit suggesting the midfielder has lost his passion to play for the Gunners.
