2. He doesn’t fit as a winger, he’s a number 10!
That’s obvious! We wonder what Wenger has up his sleeves! Özil proved himself to be a star player when he plays just behind the striker where he can dictate play and produce the maximum chances. But as has been the case, his influence on the wings has been average and requires to work much harder than what he did when at Madrid. Against Aston Villa, when he played behind the striker, he produced a great performance as he got one goal and an assist. He’s never been the box to box runner, so purchasing a traditional defensive midfielder in the center and playing Özil at CAM would work best for both parties.
