Ozil excited as Sanchez pairing starting to click for Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has said that his partnership with Alexis Sanchez is evolving well with time.

The German international looks like a changed player since his return from a long-term injury while Sanchez is enjoying his debut season at Arsenal.

The Chilean was on fire early and even though his goals have dried up recently, he still remains a key player for Arsene Wenger's side.

Ozil believes that both of them are developing an understanding and says Sanchez is the first person he looks for when he has the ball at his feet.

Asked about his partnership with his former La Liga rival, Ozil told Arsenal Player: "It's progressing really well and you can see that in our matches.

"He's really important for the team and that shows with the goals he's scored this season - you can see it in training too. I look for him when I have the ball because he makes those runs and for that reason we're happy to have a player like that in our ranks."
