Still Arsenal's record transfer fee at £42.4million back in 2013, the signing of Mesut Özil truly injected some excitement back into North London. It was said that they could no longer compete when it came to attracting the elite players around the world, but this proved otherwise and was a real signal of intent by the Gunners.

After setting the world alight at Real Madrid, Özil had a fairly quiet first season at the Emirates, but it wasn't too long before he got used to the physicality of the Premier League and settled into being one of the best players in the country. His vision and eye for an assist are second to none, and he's the cornerstone of a wonderful Arsenal midfield, including the likes of Cazorla, Sanchez, Walcott and Ramsey.

Whilst he had already convinced the Arsenal fans of his talent, there were still many doubters around the country. That is, until last season, when Özil topped the Premier League assist charts in an emphatic season for Arsenal. Nobody doubts his talents any more and he's proved himself as a world class player.

Some call him the king of the assist, but this next man might take umbridge with that...
