Ozil provided 20 assists in all competitions and narrowly missed out on breaking the all time record for setting up the most goals in a single Premier League season currently held by Thierry Henry (20).

The World Cup winner could easily have broke the record had his Arsenal teammates been less forgiving in-front of goal.

Ozil actually created 181 scoring opportunities which is the most ever recorded in the league since records began and just missed out on winning the PFA Player of the Year award.

The Arsenal star has been on a tour of the middle east recently visiting Dubai, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
