Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has struggled for playing time in 2019 making just a single start and playing two games in total.

There has been speculation over Ozil’s future as a result.

The playmaker of Turkish origin shared a photograph of himself wearing the Arsenal captain’s armband along with a quote from club legend Dennis Bergkamp which read: “When you start supporting a football club, you don’t support it because of the trophies, or a player, or history, you support it because you found yourself somewhere there; found a place where you belong.”

Ozil used the quote from Gunners legend Bergkamp in outlining his future.
