Since the beginning of the season, Ozil has not had any assists in nearly 3 months of competition, 0 successful saves and a record low pass accuracy rate, only 76%.
The above statistics show that the appearance of this midfielder on the field in the Arsenal squad "is fine, it's okay if not". Ozil plays as a central midfielder but cannot do the 3 main things: challenge, assist and control the game. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Arsenal to be patient with him.
The Gunners' reason was that Ozil seemed to have lost the motivation to play for the Emirates team. Partly because of Arsenal's declining performance, the remaining reason is that the midfielder's contract expires this summer. If he does not sell Ozil early, Arsenal will be left empty-handed by letting this midfielder leave on a free transfer.
With a person who loves his students very much like Coach Wenger, the French "Professional" also showed dissatisfaction with Ozil. After Arsenal lost to Watford away on 14 October, the veteran strategist denied all questions about the German midfielder with an upset attitude. That said, from professional matters to behind-the-scenes stories, Ozil will find it difficult to maintain his position at the club.
Ozil's decline in form is difficult to explain because he once clearly expressed his determination to stay with Arsenal. Last summer, when Sanchez wanted to leave the Emirates, Ozil was determined to stay. At that time, Arsenal received a ticket to the Europa League with the extremely fierce prospect predicted in the new season. Having planned and wanted to stay, why was Ozil so frustrated and played like this?
Regardless of the reason, Ozil is preparing to leave the Emirates if he does not change. Remember in the summer transfer window, when Sanchez was constantly invited by the big clubs, the number of big clubs chasing Ozil was too small if not 0. The team clearly stated that the most ambitious position to own this midfielder in the summer market 3 months ago was only Turkey's Fenebahce.
Whether Ozil is still at his peak or not, only this midfielder can answer, but every answer must be concretized on the pitch. If he continues to struggle like this, the day he leaves Arsenal is not far away. And then, where will Ozil's future and career go?
