Former Chelsea player and assistant manager, Ray Wilkins has questioned Mesut Ozil and claimed that the German “is not a great player” (via The Mirror).

“He is not a great player so why should he wear 10?” Wilkins told talkSPORT.

“I think the word ‘great’ is used far too often. I don’t think he has ever been a great player.

Mesut Ozil hasn’t exactly set the world alight at times during his Arsenal career. The German was a wonderful player for Real Madrid but hasn’t carried that form over to England on a consistent basis.
