Former Arsenal and France midfielder Emmanuel Petit has labelled Gunners playmaker Mesut Ozil "a ghost" and criticised the club's highest-paid player for not showing more desire to succeed in the north London team's colours.
Ozil was substituted at half-time on Wednesday when Arsenal were drawing 1-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion (also the full-time result), and Petit wrote in his Paddy Power blog in the aftermath questioning the German's resolve.
He said: "Mesut Ozil was taken off at half-time. I'm a big fan of Ozil, but he has been a ghost for the past two years.
