The pair are team-mates for club and country and the goalkeeper doesn't believe simple assist numbers show the midfielder's worth to his team
Mesut Ozil’s creative ability is underrated by many fans, according to Arsenal and Germany team-mate Bernd Leno.
The 31-year-old midfielder has seen his influence at the Emirates Stadium wane in recent years, and he has just six Premier League goals and four assists to his name since the beginning of last season.
Leno, though, believes Ozil’s value is evident beyond basic statistics, and his vision helps open up space for his team-mates.
