Unai Emery sets challenge for £42m Arsenal ace Mesut Ozil

Arsenal boss Unai Emery has challenged Mesut Ozil to rediscover his best form consistently.

The former Germany international was the star of the show during Arsenal’s win over Newcastle United on Saturday.

Ozil – who joined Arsenal for £42 million back in 2013 –  scored his sides winning goal in a 2-1 victory.

Following the game, Emery spoke to reporters about the 29-year-old. The Spanish tactician heaped praise on Ozil and spoke about his decision to quit the Germany national team.

“It’s a new way for him,” Emery told

“We want his performance each training day and in each match and for him to give us his quality. I want also his best performance for us and he worked well at first and had a good match.

“For me, every player is the same. We want to give them confidence and also push them. Today, I am happy because I want every player to have chances to score and he scored today.

“He has to continue helping with his quality and working hard to continue with the performances we want from him.”

It remains to be seen whether Emery opts to field a full strength side when Arsenal take on Vorskla in the Europa League on Thursday.

Arsenal’s next Premier League fixture is up against an out-of-form Everton at the Emirates stadium.
