Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil named Germany's best for Euro 2016

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has been named Germany's player of Euro 2016.

Ozil was one of the German side's most impressive performers in their run to the semi-finals of the tournament, where they were defeated by hosts and runners-up France.

The German public were evidently impressed with the playmaker's tournament, with 25.2 per cent of the 25,200 supporters who voted in the poll naming Ozil Germany's top performer, ahead of Jerome Boateng and Toni Kroos.

German fans have also voted for Ozil as the national team's player of the year in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015.
