Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has heaped praise on teammate Mesut Ozil.

The England international claims that the German star has an uncanny ability to see things others don't on the football pitch.

The German playmaker recently won Arsenal's Player of the Season award on the back of his 19 assists as the North Londoners finished second on the Premier League table.

"What makes him the player he is, so special, and why people talk about him is because he sees things that other players don't see," Wilshere told Arsenal Player.

"Along with that, he sees things early. You can see that when the defence and midfield are building up play, he's looking around. When the ball comes to him he's got a picture in his head and knows what to do.

"I've played in that position in the past and I think sometimes the boss still sees me in there. To watch someone like that, with his awareness and calmness on the ball, [is amazing].

"When everything is happening quickly around him and he's got players surrounding him, he's always got his head up and is so calm."
