German playmaker Mesut Ozil has been one of the top performers in a mediocre Arsenal side alongside Alexis Sanchez for the past few years. The former Real Madrid man came closest to the mercurial Thierry Henry's record assists in a season (20), by grabbing 19 in the 2015/16 campaign.
Mesut Ozil is the best example of a classic number ten playmaker, currently operating behind the lone striker Alexandre Lacazette in a 3-4-2-1 system.
