Ozil refuses to talk up Arsenal title chances

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil says he won't get carried away with his successful season start.

The 24-year-old, who scored his first Arsenal goal in the Champions League win over Napoli, may have been grabbing all of the headlines, but insists he will have no problem to keep himself grounded.

"In football, I feel generally very little pressure. I am doing what I enjoy most and what I do best. I love my work, so I just look forward to every game and do not concern myself so much with what others say or write," Ozil said.

"The pressure that I have is mainly from myself because I expect a high level of me, but I can handle this pressure very well."
