Arsenal star Mesut Özil has established himself as some what of an assist king this season setting up 16 goals in 19 leagues games so it will probably come as no surprise that the first word he learned in English was ‘assist’.
Özil took part in a Twitter Q&A session yesterday answering questions from his 10.3 million followers.
The World Cup winner was of course joking but considering he has the highest assist record in Europe’s top five leagues this season – England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain – it would not really seem far fetched.
assist, of course… ah no… just kidding ? #AskOzil https://t.co/ST8E4tRNlk
