Mathieu Flamini reveals the key to Arsenal team-mate Mesut Ozil's stunning form
MATHIEU FLAMINI believes the incredible form of his Arsenal team-mate Mesut Ozil this season is all down to the German finding happiness away from the pitch.
Mesut Ozil already has 16 Premier League assists this season
Ozil has already created 16 goals this season, and is on course to break Thierry Henry's Premier League assists record.
But the World Cup winner initially struggled to settle in England, and failed to live up to his £42.5 million price tag in his first two seasons with the Gunners.
And Flamini believes Ozil has managed to turn his fortunes around by settling in off the pitch and striking up close bonds with himself and others.
