'Mentally it was hard' – Kolasinac & Ozil keen to consign car-jacking horror to the past

The Arsenal pair were threatened by weapon-wielding thugs in July and the Bosnian wants to move on from the incident

Arsenal full-back Sead Kolasinac has admitted that an attempted car-jacking that involved team-mate Mesut Ozil back in July was "mentally hard", but did not want to go into specifics as he and the German look to put the nightmarish incident behind them.

The Gunners duo had been driving through London in Ozil's car when assailants armed with knives approached the playmaker's Mercedes. Ozil quickly left the scene, taking shelter in a nearby Turkish restaurant, while Kolasinac tried to fight off the criminals.
