Ian Wright Hopes Ozil Will Outlast Emery At Arsenal

Ian Wright wishes Mesut Ozil will outlast Unai Emery at Arsenal.

The Gunners legend recognizes the fact that Ozil will not get opportunities under the current manager.

“Well, hopefully, Özil,” Wright said. “He’s already said he doesn’t want to leave. For me, hopefully, it’s Özil.”

“I’m very disappointed to see that [Özil not in the squad] because I don’t think that Arsenal when you look at Arsenal’s creative stats, they’re not up there.

“They’re actually not creating as much and they’re conceding more shots on target. So that says to me you need somebody who’s creative to be playing there.

“Mesut Ozil is that guy, I don’t know what’s going on with him and Unai Emery, but for me, I think this could be the problem for Unai in the end if Arsenal continue to do what they’re doing.

“They’re waiting for [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang or [Nicolas] Pepe, like the other day, to save them. The fact is he should be playing.”

The situation at North London is turning very toxic at a rapid pace with Granit Xhaka disrespecting his own fans, Emery getting mocked with Ozil chants and the club struggling to win games.
