Ozil has been unlucky - Arteta

The Spaniard believes his attacking midfielder has been unfortunate not to register better attacking numbers this term

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta believes that star playmaker Mesut Ozil has been ‘unlucky’ not to record more goals and assists in his time as Gunners boss.

The 31-year-old has often been a divisive figure since arriving in England, but his attacking numbers have dipped drastically since the departure of Arsene Wenger.

He has just two assists and no goals in all competitions this term, but Arteta believes that the German’s play in the final third has been deserving of better statistics than that.
