Ozil set to be rewarded for fine form

 

Arsenal are set to reward Mesut Ozil for his fine form with a new contract, reports the Daily Mirror.

 

The Germany international has been vital for the Gunners, racking up more assists (10) than any other player in Europe's top 5 leagues this season.

 

Ozil is set to play a crucial role in the club's title pursuit this term and has not disappointed, with his WhoScored rating (7.82) the third best in the Premier League this term.

 

The creator is Arsenal's most expensive player in their illustrious history, setting the Gunners back £42m to secure his services from Real Madrid back in 2013.

The 27-year-old's current deal runs until 2017, but the north London side are understandably keen to tie him down to a new long term contract.

 

Ozil has played more key passes (54) and created more clear-cut goalscoring opportunities (12) than any other player in Europe's top 5 leagues this campaign.
