Arsene Wenger hails Mesut Ozil as Arsenal legend Bergkamp’s equal after Gunners go top
French manager hails Ozil as the best player in the Premier League following another influential display in a 2-0 win over Bournemouth
Arsene Wenger hailed Mesut Ozil as the best player in the Premier League and an equal of Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp following another influential display in a 2-0 win over Bournemouth.
German midfielder Ozil made one goal and scored another at the Emirates Stadium on Monday to help Arsenal back to the top of the table, leaving pundits running out of superlatives to describe his performance.
Ozil’s statistics are astonishing even by his own high standards.
Against Bournemouth he set another mark, too, creating nine goalscoring opportunities for team-mates – the highest figure registered in the league this season.
I don’t know if it was his best performance, I have seen a few good games from him this season
No wonder Gunners boss Wenger was happy to suggest his midfielder has been peerless in the league this season.
