Mesut Ozil is undoubtedly one of Arsenal’s biggest stars but I bet you did not know AC Milan boss Genaro Gattuso dreams about him.
No I am not joking, the fiery AC Milan manager said he has been having dreams about the playmaker of Turkish origin.
Now I think this may have got slightly lost in translation, I assume he meant Ozil has been giving him nightmares but oh well.
Gattuso revealed that he has had trouble sleeping over working out how to stop the 2014 World Cup winner.
“The worry is how to stop Arsenal scoring,” said the Milan boss. “When I go to bed I dream of Ozil.
“Arsenal are a technical team that doesn’t like defensive transitions. We’ll have to do well not to suffer from what they do, and then make them run when we have the ball.”

Gattuso will have his very own Germany born ethnic Turk available tonight in the form of Hakan Calhanoglu.
The 23-year-old was born in Germany but unlike Ozil represents Turkey.
Calhanoglu will start in the Europa League Last 16 first-leg clash as will Ozil. This will be the first time they have faced each other since Calhanoglu joined AC Milan.
The Italian giants head into the clash undefeated in their last 13 games and have not conceded a single goal in their last six matches.
