Arsenal legend Robert Pires believes the club have let Mesut Ozil down by failing to assemble a top-class team around him.
He told SportBild (h/t Sport Witness): "Ozil is a warrior who wants to win something. To me, he seems so angry about the fact that Arsenal hasn’t put together the team with which he can make a difference. Arsenal has spent money only for Alexandre Lacazette, €53 million. That is not enough to be at the top."
Ozil has helped the Gunners win three FA Cups since he arrived at the club in 2013, and he has contributed much during that time, as he has with Germany and did with previous club Real Madrid, per Squawka Football:
However, the team's struggles in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League have continued unabated, and they haven't been unable to muster a serious challenge in either competition.
