Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil admits he's yet to speak one-on-one with manager Mikel Arteta.

Arteta has been credited for Ozil's form improvement since arriving to replace the sacked Unai Emery.

However the German, while admitting he is far happier under the Catalan, concedes he's not spoken directly with the manager since his appointment.

"Am I having fun again? Yes," Ozil began.

"We have not talked face-to-face, but I know him. We played together under (Arsene) Wenger's orders.

"He's just arrived, but everyone knows what he wants. Our goal, my goal, is to give everything on the field to help the team and I think the coach sees it, since I play."
