An adviser of Mesut Ozil says he feels he's being poorly treated at Arsenal.

Ozil featured in Arsenal's Champions League thrashing by Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.

His agent Dr Erkut Sogut told BBC Sport: “Criticism is normal if a player plays badly. But Mesut feels people are not focusing on his performance; they are using him as a scapegoat for the team after bad results.

“How can someone in the No.10 position create chances if you don't have the ball?

“Football is a team sport and Arsenal are not performing well as a team. Eleven players were on the pitch but Mesut was singled out for criticism. Was he the reason that Arsenal conceded five goals?"

He then went on to defend the former Real Madrid star about him not turning up in big games, he added: “I don't agree that Mesut has not had an impact on big matches.

“What about the win at home to Chelsea this season and Manchester United the year before? What about the games for Germany against Italy and France at Euro 2016?

“People are always saying Mesut is not fighting or tackling, that he has poor body language, but that is how he is.

“Believe me, he is desperate to succeed. If it doesn't work, he shows his anger and expressions. Was his body language an issue when Arsenal were playing well?"
