2. Mesut Ozil – Real Madrid/Arsenal
Assists: 56
Another creative tour de force that the Spaniards somehow let slip through their fingers when he joined Arsenal last summer. He had been a figurehead in the line between Real’s midfield and their attack, causing havoc and finding ways to unpick the stout defensive locks that line up against Real whenever they’re in town. He got to work quickly at the Emirates, clocking up 11 assists in all competitions and he will be hoping to build on that quickly as he becomes more accustomed to the vastly quicker English game.
