Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes new signing Mesut Ozil can help improve midfielder Jack Wilshere and help turn him into an all-round midfielder.
The German international completed his move from Real Madrid to Arsenal on Monday and is now expected to line-up alongside England’s biggest hope for the future, Wilshere.
A midfield three of Santi Cazorla, Wilshere and Ozil is something exciting the Arsenal fans and it is also exciting manager Wenger, and the Frenchman believes Ozil can help his English team-mate in becoming an even better player.
‘In midfield, Jack Wilshere is more comfortable in deeper positions and Ozil more in a higher position, that is why I don’t think they conflict,’ said Wenger.
‘I didn’t always think that, but looking at Jack over the years now, he likes to come deep to take the ball and make a difference, and then give and go again.
‘Ozil, though, is more behind the striker, higher up on the field.’
