Mesut Ozil’s issues at Arsenal have been caused by a desire for confrontation and not a lack of sporting ability, claims former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.
The legendary French coach was the man to take the mercurial playmaker to north London in the summer of 2013. Arsenal smashed their transfer record to prise Ozil away from Real Madrid in a £42.5 million ($55m) deal.
The 2018 World Cup winner has helped the Gunners to three FA Cup triumphs across his seven years in English football, scoring 44 goals and providing 77 assists in 254 appearances.
