Mesut Özil has urged his club and fans to never give up via a post on the social media website Instagram as he prepares to make this 30th appearance for Arsenal this season.

The Germany international had to show his fighting spirit this season to come back stronger from a knee injury which kept him out of first team football for three months.

Özil has covered more distance, scored more goals, provided more assists and improved his sprinting since returning from injury at the start of 2015 according to the official Premier League website.
