Thomas Vermaelen - Mesut Ozil is world class but Mikel Arteta is the best judge of his Arsenal situation

Mesut Ozil's plight at Arsenal has been subject to a lot of debate around the world, especially in the wake of Arsenal's less-than-ideal start to the Premier League season.

The Gunners are currently 14th on the table with just 13 points from 10 matches and a lack of creativity in the team has been highlighted. Many have argued that Ozil, who has been frozen out of the squad, could be an answer to Arteta's conundrum.

Former Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen feels that the situation that led to the falling out between the German and the manager is unfortunate, given the quality that Ozil possesses.
