Mesut Ozil Admits Arsenal Are 'Lucky' to Have Quartet of Talented Young Future Stars

Arsenal's Mesut Ozil has hailed the quality of the youth coming through at Arsenal, giving special praise to a quartet of players as the club go about their pre-season.

The German struggled for time and trust last season, only managing 24 Premier League appearances in Unai Emery's first season at the club, netting five times and providing just the two assists.

Ozil – with the pressure off – appeared back to his best this week as Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 in the International Champions Cup; Eddie Nketiah netting the winner for Arsenal in the 88th minute and Joe Willock dominating the middle of the park.
