Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is completely falling in love with Mesut Ozil just like every other Arsenal fan on the planet.
The German international had a dream home debut in the Champions League last night for Arsenal, scoring and making a goal as the Gunners out classed Napoli 2-0 in a completely one-sided contest at the Emirates, and Wenger could stop himself from singing the praises of his newest acquisition.
The veteran Arsenal tactician said, “He had an amazing first half. He had individual skill, team play, finishing and the final ball. You just sit there and enjoy it.”
Wenger added, “I loved him when he was at Real Madrid. I thought he was great and we’re just lucky to have got him. I believe he enjoys playing football. He enjoys playing with his partners. He has integrated quickly and he has come in at a period when we are doing well. Of course he has given a lift to everyone at the club and belief – and belief is a part of the success in football.”
Ozil’s arrival could not have been better timed as Arsenal find themselves in the midst of a 10 match winning run in all competitions and are comfortably perched at the top of the Barclays Premier League and their Group in the UEFA Champions League, whilst also progressing to the fourth round of the Capital One Cup where they will host Chelsea next.
With Theo Walcott, Santi Carzola, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski still to return to action for Arsenal in the coming weeks, the Gunners are only likely to get stronger and better, and Wenger hopes that he will finally end the club’s 8 year long wait for silverware this year.
