Arsenal midfielder Ozil: Arteta system suits me

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil admits manager Mikel Arteta's system suits his game.

Arteta takes his Gunners side to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday, and Ozil says he's enjoying the new style of play under the Spaniard, from both a personal and team point of view.

“As a playmaker, I need a lot of space," he told the Evening Standard.

"His playing style allows me to get that space and it is so important to be successful.

"We are really enjoying everything at the moment. You can see we have a structure on the pitch now. Everyone knows what their job is on the pitch and we are very happy to have won these two games [against Man Utd and Leeds]."
