Arsenal legend Thierry Henry believes midfielder Mesut Ozil can fire The Gunners to the Premier League title, ahead of both Manchester City and Chelsea.
Ozil and co. currently sit top of the table going into February, but are just one point ahead of City and two points ahead of Chelsea, with a tough set of fixtures ahead which sees them face City, Chesea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham all in a space of a few weeks.
However, with a collapse predicted and expected from Arsene Wenger’s men, club-legend Thierry Henry believes this season will be their season, especially with Ozil leading the midfield.
‘I can say right now that everybody is expecting Arsenal to collapse, just as they were expecting it earlier in the season. But they didn’t,’ Henry told Goal.com.
‘They are still somehow keeping up the pace in the Premier League, and every time they have been in a situation where they have to answer back to Man City and Chelsea, they have done it.
‘Hopefully, they can carry on doing that. As an Arsenal man and a fan of the club, I want them to carrying on doing that the whole way and make sure they can win the league.’
‘With his calmness, his quality on the ball, his vision, he is a great player and can give an assist at any moment.
‘He also has the quality and capacity to score goals at any moment, so it’s always great to have a player like that around in the dressing room on a daily basis, and at the weekend at the game,’ said Henry.
