MESUT OZIL has revealed he is working hard to get even better for Arsenal this season.
The Premier League’s ‘assist-king’ has been in good form at the start of the campaign helping the Gunners to fourth in the table, two points off leaders Liverpool.
But Ozil is determined to work hard on improving his right foot as Arsene Wenger’s side look for a first title since 2004.
“I think it’s really important [to keep working],” he told the club’s website. “If you want to develop as a footballer, you have to work on your weaknesses every day.
“You have to have talent but of course nobody is perfect, and you have to work hard to minimise those weaknesses as well as you can.
“I’m working hard on that – for example, I’m not ambidextrous, so I’m working on my right foot too.
“Especially if you play in the Premier League, you have to look after your body because the matches are very demanding and you have plenty of matches.
“That’s why you have to work hard, to make sure you stay fit.
“I knew that if I moved to Arsenal, I would develop myself further, especially under the boss.
“I’m on a good way, the team really supports me, the manager gives me his trust and you see that I enjoy myself on the pitch.”
Ozil has seven goals and four assists in 14 appearances for the Gunners so far this season.
