Stats show Arsenal star is the best in the Premier League

A crucial part of Arsenal’s fantastic form in recent games has been the performances of Mesut Ozil, who is proving to be a match winner for the Gunners.

Previously criticised by rival fans and the media, Ozil is now commanding a lot of attention; taking his season assists tally to six by adding two in Arsenal’s victory over Watford- which extended their winning run in the Premier League to three games.

The in-form 27-year-old also added a goal in the demolition of Manchester United two weeks ago, leading many to declare that there is no finer midfielder in the Premier League at the moment- a claim which is supported by the latest statistics.

Squawka show Arsenal is superior to is counter-parts in numerous areas, coming out triumphant when up against Manchester United’s, Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho and Manchester City’s David Silva- who, like Ozil, has six assists; the most in Europe’s top five leagues.

The above credits Ozil with the most key passes, the joint-most assists and the most chances created; creating an opening every 17.9 minutes, on average.

That’s a pretty phenomenal return, working out at around 5 chances per game. With Arsenal’s forwards now also finding form, the number of assists for Ozil should rise significantly.
