Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has called upon Mesut Ozil to become Arsenal’s go-to man following the departure of Alexis Sanchez.

The playmaker impressed as Arsenal booked their place in the Carabao Cup final during Wednesday’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea.

Ozil, who has less than six months remaining on his current deal could leave for free this summer.

It’s uncertain whether the Germany midfielder will extend his contract, but following Sanchez completing his switch to Man Utd, Arsenal now need Ozil more than ever.

The Germany midfielder impressed in Arsenal 4-1 win over Crystal Palace last weekend. Club-record goalscorer Henry has called for Ozil to remain at the Emirates and become the leader of the Arsenal side.

Henry told Sky Sports (via the Star): “He [Ozil] has to make it his team.

“Alexis Sanchez is gone. If he plays all the time like he did against Crystal Palace, he’s unplayable.”

Gooners, do you want to see Ozil sign a new deal? Or are you content with him leaving this summer? Let us know in the comments…
