Ozil proud to be the one assisting the goals at the Emirates[GETTY]
You can’t forget that the assists are just as important as goals
Mesut Ozil
Ozil smashed the Gunners transfer record in the summer of 2013, moving from Real Madrid for a fee of £42.5m.
The German World Cup winner has since assisted 14 goals in all competitions, while also getting on the scoresheet seven times himself.
“I’m very proud," he said on his assist record on Arsenal.
“Often there is a lot of talk or a lot written about goals and not necessarily about who has given the assist, which is normal. But you can’t forget that the assists are just as important as goals.
“But it doesn’t matter who sets up the goal or who scores it, the most important thing is that we are successful as a team. I’m a player who doesn’t score that many goals but gives a lot more assists.
“Of course my aims this season are to score lots of goals and provide many assists to help the team. I’m positive that I can do that because I have the potential and the faith of the coach.”
