The 92-capped Germany international started every top-flight fixture under Mikel Arteta from December until March, scoring once and proving one assist.

Meanwhile, former Tottenham midfielder and manager Tim Sherwood believes Ozil should be given another chance.
"When the teams sit back - you need guile, you need someone who's got imagination, who's got vision - you need Mesut Ozil," Sherwood told Premier League Productions.
"Mesut Ozil is at the football club, where is he? That's the player they need. That's what you need, he needs him. He's almost cutting his nose off to spite his face.
"He's seeing him every day in training so he's obviously not producing. I don't think Mikel's that stupid to leave him out if he's showing the right attitude - he's obviously not."
