Mesut Ozil’s attitude has completely changed under Unai Emery.

That’s the opinion former England man Trevor Steven.

Ozil impressed again as Arsenal made it 10 wins on the bounce with Monday’s 3-1 victory over Leicester City.

The Gunners are within two points of top spot and it’s Ozil, who was named captain on the night, leading the charge.

And former Everton and Rangers winger Steven has shed light on the changing relationship between Ozil and Arsenal.

“Ozil is meant to be the iconic figure at the club and is their highest earner,” Steven wrote in his City AM column .

Pearce believes Unai Emery has been the catalyst for Ozil’s form

“Ask anyone in German football and they’ll tell you he can do anything – but his attitude has been wrong.

“Now that seems to have changed. He appears to get it.

“Being made captain on Monday was recognition from Emery that Ozil has embraced a more collective approach.

“It’s also a smart move that gives him greater responsibility. He can’t shirk his role as a leader.”

Ozil responded to Ben Chilwell’s deflected opener before a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang brace sealed the three points for the Gunners.
