Imagine thinking there is a better playmaker in the Prem than Mesut Ozil.

The 27-year-old was unable to add to his impressive assist record which has tailed off since the turn of the year.
Ozil has provided 18 assists in the Premier League this season. The former Real Madrid playmaker could have more assists to his name had it not been for the profligacy of his teammates. Ozil has created the most chances in the league (122) but Arsenal have the lowest goal record in the top four.
