Arsene Wenger hails "perfect" Mesut Ozil

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says that the criticism Mesut Ozil has received at the club is unfair.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has claimed that everything Mesut Ozil does on the pitch is "absolutely perfect".

The 25-year-old joined the Gunners from Real Madrid last summer, but he has come under criticism for some of his performances by the club's supporters.

"People are very harsh with Ozil because he's a player who's always very easy on his play but when you watch the game again after, the next day, you see what a player he is," The Telegraph quotes Wenger as saying. "Everything he does is intelligent. The timing of everything he does is absolutely perfect. You never catch him giving the ball too late.

"The timing, he's like a guy who plays the music, the timing of what he does is perfect, you don't get many players like that.

"He is not getting enough praise. He came back as a World Cup winner. He played all seven games. He played some good games. He is not a tackler."

Ozil played every match in Germany's World Cup-winning campaign this summer.
