Statistical proof that Mesut Ozil is Europe’s best creator

These statistics suggest that Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil is the best playmaker in Europe.

The German world cup winner has shone bright for the Gunners this season as the club’s main creator.

Ozil turned creator yet again at the weekend by serving up another assist as Arsenal beat Sunderland 3-1 at the Emirates.

The midfielder has already notched up 12 assists in 14 Premier League games, and his contribution against the Black Cats marked the 14th goal he has been involved in during his last thirteen games for Arsenal.

The Sky Sports graphic below suggests he’s the in-form playmaker in European football by a great distance.
