Ozil plays down Arsenal's title chances

Mesut Ozil is well aware that Arsenal face a very long season ahead before they can talk about winning the Premier League title.

The Gunners are currently top of the table after seven matches but German playmaker Ozil has played down talk that the title could be heading to north London this term.

"I am delighted we top the table, but we also know that the season is still very long," he said.

"To talk about winning the league (now) would be too early. The current table is nothing more than a snapshot.

"We will continue to play every game with our full concentration, we will try to get better as a team. If we can do that, we have a great chance to achieve a lot.

"For me the Premier League is the strongest league in the world.

"Every match is a challenge and the games are very intense. I believe I can profit from that."
