Arsene Wenger: This star DOES care!

Arsene Wenger insists Mesut Ozil “cares a lot more than people think” about Arsenal as he defended the midfielder’s work rate.

Ozil shined for Arsenal as they dispatched West Ham 3-0, although struggling in the first half, it was Ozil’s goal in the second half that seemed to light a fire under the Gunners and drive them on to a win at the Emirates.

Ozil and his commitment has been called into question by fans as of late, but Arsene Wenger has rubbished the idea of Ozil not caring about the club.

“He cares and people often reproach him because of his style of play, but he cares much more than people think he does,” Wenger said.

“He [Ozil] is very ambitious. He wants to win the Champions League. He has come out many times saying that,” Wenger explained.

“It was difficult to take for everybody. I believe that it was more difficult for him as it’s a big part of his ambitions.”

The club [will announce any decision],” Wenger said. “I have nothing to add to that. My job is to plan for the future of the club.”

“I cannot tell you anything more than what I have said many times. I can understand that the subject is of interest, but for me what is of interest is on the pitch.

“Sport is about your next performance. It’s down to you to change things. What is to be professional is to focus on what is important – that means performance.”
