Legend says Mesut Ozil will regret Arsenal career

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has suggested Mesut Ozil will look back at his Arsenal career in future with some regrets in mind, having not fulfilled his full potential.

In an interview with Sky Sports, he said:
"What about Mesut Ozil at Arsenal? Will he fulfil his potential?" he asked.

"There are players like Jamie [Redknapp] who suffered a knee injury so may not fulfil their potential, but for someone like Ozil, do you think in three or four years' time he'll look back on his career and say 'I did everything to give myself the best chance of being successful?'

"The way I see him, we should not even be having a conversation about him. He's so talented, and we should be talking about him as one of the greatest players to come to the Premier League, but I don't think I'm alone in feeling there's so much more from him"

"I think he'll look back and think he could've done more - I know Ozil is a No.10, but when he loses the ball, there's a general disinterest to do the hard yards."

"He's not alone in that, and maybe he's given carte blanche to be like that but if you're out there and you give the ball away yourself, the first reaction has to be to sprint back, get goal-side and be part of the team that wins the ball back." he concluded.
