Arsenal star playmaker Mesut Ozil has been included in Garth Crooks BBC Team of the Week.
The 29-year-old has been in impressive form ever since the international break with three goals in his last four games.
Ozil was once again the star of the show during Arsenal’s win over Watford FC on Saturday.
The former Germany international netted his sides second goal to wrap up all three points.
Garth Crooks has stated that Unai Emery’s decision to give Ozil the captains armband has boosted the 29-year-old’s performances.
Furthermore, Crooks believes that Ozil and his teammates appear to be much happier under Emery.
“Did I see Mesut Ozil wearing the captain’s armband? Now there is innovation. Well done Unai Emery. If you want more out of your player then give him more responsibility,” Crooks told BBC Sport.
“I must say Arsenal look a much happier bunch under Emery. They are not a title-winning side yet but I think this manager will get Arsenal challenging for honours in the not-too-distant future. This man knows what he’s doing.”
Arsenal are back in action on Thursday night when they take on Qarabag FK in the Europa League. The Gunners next Premier League fixture is up against Fulham.
Ozil has registered three goals un seven games for Arsenal this season.
