Arsenal boss Emery: I've always been open with Ozil

Arsenal boss Unai Emery says he's always been open to Mesut Ozil over his plans.

The playmaker was in fine form against Liverpool in midweek, and Emery says he will be part of the squad to face Wolves on Saturday.

"I spoke with him on Tuesday," Emery said. "I said to him every time what my plan is with him. When he's available, when he's training well, when he's consistent, when he's positive he can help us a lot.

"Now I am seeing him positive and consistent. On Wednesday, with his performance in Liverpool, I think this is the way we want. Also I am helping him, supporting him, demanding of him. This is the Mesut I think everyone wants.

"He has big experience. When you talk about players who are ready to play under high pressure, one is Mesut Ozil. I think he has confidence and I think he has respect.

"When he is in that positive way, when he is available consistently, he has the respect from us and from every supporter."
