Former Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has spoken out about the situation at the club between Mesut Ozil and the board.
Arsenal have dug themselves an ugly grave in the way they have dealt with Ozil and it might only be getting nastier with Koscielny now chipping in.
He told L’Equipe via Sport Witness: ‘As a man, he’s a very good person, who got along with all his team-mates.
‘He gave a lot, helped sick children. He is a generous person, with whom I got along very well. As a player, he is in my opinion a phenomenon. He can find passes that no one sees, he’s a maestro. He can rock a game with incredible passes.’
The Frenchman added: ‘We’re both parts of the “Arsene Wenger Generation”. The coach loved him as a player. It was more complicated with Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta. Knowing him, he must always be professional in training, always on time.
‘He is undoubtedly at the level demanded by the Premier League. There is probably a certain case with the club since last year, I hope both sides find a deal that works for everyone.
‘He is a competitor. I hope to see him back on the pitch soon, at Arsenal or elsewhere because he is real talent.’
