Mesut Ozil would calmly leave Arsenal as he already has a successor

DBasia.news – Mesut Ozil can now leave Arsenal in peace. The German player admitted that he had chosen his successor at the Emirates Stadium.

Ozil and Arsenal are almost certain to end their relationship in the transfer market this winter. The 32 year old player continues to be linked with Turkish giants, Fenerbahce.

Ozil does not seem like he has a future at Arsenal. He has even been exiled from the first team for almost a year.

Even though he received unfavorable treatment, Ozil continued to support and watch Arsenal’s every game. He was also interested in the performance shown by one of the young players, Emile Smith Rowe.

The 20 year old player is what Ozil considers his successor. Both are positioned as attacking midfielders.

“He made a difference in the last few games as a number 10 player, I’m very happy for him. He showed that playing with the number 10 still makes sense in football today,” Ozil said on Twitter.

The comment seemed to be an allusion to Mikel Arteta. The Arsenal manager had indeed mentioned an unsuitable playing style as an excuse to alienate Ozil from his squad.

However, Smith Rowe did give Arsenal a new color. The Gunners’ victory in the last four games in a row cannot be separated from his contribution.

Ozil’s praise could also be a signal for Smith Rowe. He is likely to become Arsenal’s number ten player next season.
