Arsenal boss Wenger: Ozil one of the best players in the world

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists Mesut Ozil still has much to offer.

Ozil is fit after injury and available for their clash with Watford.

"People go quickly to conclusions," said Wenger. "We live in the world where people have opinions and sometimes they are right and sometimes they are not always proven right on the longer period.

"You need players who have quality and Ozil is one of the best players in the world.

"Last season we played the last 11 games and won 10. We beat Man City in the FA Cup semi-final and Chelsea in the final and he played as well.

"You can always find the example but it's true we have done well recently."
