Mesut Ozil is not quick enough to play in the Premier League according to Mickey Quinn.

Ahead of the weekend's clash between Arsenal and Newcastle United, former Magpies star Quinn suggests that the Gunners playmaker simply doesn't have the sharpness to dominate matches at the elite level English football.

"He's too slow for the Premier League, he's too one paced," Quinn told talkSPORT.

"He doesn't dictate the pace of a Premier League game.

"He drifts in an out of a game with little flashes of brilliance, but this is the Premier League and he needs to do it regularly."
