'I am Mesut Ozil and I’m not finished yet' - Arsenal star reacts to Bergkamp comparisons

The Gunners star has vowed to continue making his own mark in English football, expressing a desire on his part to become an iconic creative influence

Mesut Ozil is aware of comparisons to Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp but insists he is determined to secure legend status in his own right at Emirates Stadium.

As a creative influence who can make the game look easy at times, the German playmaker falls into the same talent bracket as the iconic Dutchman.

Bergkamp starred in north London for nine years between 1995 and 2006, scoring 120 goals and winning three Premier League titles.
