It’s only happiness and joy to play next to him because he understands very well the football game, he has great vision, he has amazing technique and he’s the best in his position.”

During his spell with the Gunners, the former Werder Bremen star has managed to amass a total of 36 goals and 64 assists in 184 appearances, a fairly impressive return.
Ozi fantastic vision and wide passing range has seen some label the player as one of the best creators in the entire Premier League, and deservedly so.
