Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is happy to liken Mesut Ozil to Gunners legend Dennis Bergkamp.

Ozil will be back in Premier League action today against Stoke City.

"Yes, he is a similar type," Wenger said.

"Dennis was maybe more prolific. Dennis was first a striker but he created as well. But Dennis's evolution through his career was an adaptation to his physical qualities. When he couldn't score any more he became a great provider.

"I think Özil, at the start, has more a midfielder's mentality and Dennis, at the start, had more a striker's mentality. But he [Özil] can score, yes."
