Mesut Ozil admits he needs to become a little more self-centred in order to improve his impact for Arsenal.

The German playmaker has scored 12 goals since he joined the North London club from Real Madrid in the summer of 2013 but is looking to increase that output by placing more of the goalscoring onus on himself.

"I want to score more goals than in the last two seasons and that's my aim for this season," he told Arsenal Player.

"What's important firstly is that we are successful as a team.

"That's most crucial for us and as I said, for me it's not just goals and assists that mean everything, what's more important is that we're successful as a team.

"I think now and then I need to become a bit more selfish - then I'd definitely score more goals."
