Oxlade-Chamberlain says the team can always trust Ozil to carve out goalscoring opportunities.

“This year he has been a real focal part of the side and I think that has helped his confidence,” the England international said. "We know that if we can give Mesut the ball, we can trust that he will make things happen time after time.

“He has always been an unbelievable player and a player I have admired for a number of years before he came here and even when he has been at Arsenal he has always shown the quality.

“I just think his quality is coming out a bit more. Obviously he has a couple of good players around him to help him but that has really helped him to come out and show how good he is, week in and week out. Mesut has always been a quality player at Arsenal and this year he has been amazing so let's hope he can keep it up.”
