Arsenal new boy Mesut Ozil may just be the answer to Arsene Wenger’s and the Emirates faithful prayers after another superb performance in Saturday’s victory against Norwich City at The Emirates as the Gunners hit the heavy heights of the top of the Premier League table…..after gunning down the Canaries in a superb performance which contained both flair and professionalism as Jack Wilshere , Aaron Ramsey and new boy Mesut Ozil maintained Arsenal’s superb start.
Ozil , who has been the stand out performer in an ever improving Gunners side consisting of fellow Germans Lukas Podolski , Per Mertersaker and talented teen Serg Gnabry as the Norh London club are playing a brand of football which is similar to the invincible days of 2003/04 , when Viera , Pires and Henry ruled Highbury and teams feared the gunners as they rompted to the title in emphatic fashion after maintaining an unbeaten season with a team of superstars.
Arsenal now have a new breed of talent in the current generation with the likes of Ramsey , Wilshere and Giroud , but amongst those stars…..one has shone through over the last few weeks and months a superb start to life in the Premier League. Mesut Ozil has become a cult hero at the Emirates after taking the Premier League by storm in recent weeks with a catalouge of superb performances in some crucial games.
The mercurial playmaker has been a central figure in the influx of young players in German football. His impressive performances for Germany in the 2010 World Cup earned him a move to Real Madrid from german side Weder Breman ,and in September 2013 Arsenal splashed out £42.5m to make him their record signing.Ozil who has always been a bit of a magician on the pitch after the performances that alerted Arsenal to his transfer has put the form into his big money move as the German international has scored two goals and maid plenty of assists in his first month or so….. which included an assist on his debut.
Ozil looks set to be a great signing for Wenger’s new generation of his squad look to mount a serious title challenge , which has maybe eluded his side over the last decade or so , since the titl winning side of ten years ago as Wenger’s cunning plan seems to be coming together as it is now appearing he can now proparly bring the best out of the wealth of talent he has at his disposal.
Speaking a few days after his move Ozil stated…..
“At the weekend, I was certain I would stay at Real Madrid but afterwards I realised I did not have the faith from the coach or the bosses. I am a player who needs this faith and that is what I have felt from Arsenal, which is why I have joined.”
He has clearly made an impact and after scoring another two today it can only get better for both Ozil and Arsenal respectivly……
