Rob Holding recalls Mesut Ozil moment that made him believe Arsenal would win the title

Rob Holding has identified Mesut Ozil as the best player he has shared the dressing room with during his time at Arsenal and reminisced on one moment of magic from the ex- Germany international.

Ozil arrived at the Emirates in 2013 to overwhelming fanfare, three years before Holding's more understated arrival as an unknown youngster from Bolton. While it didn't exactly end the way either party would have liked for Ozil at Arsenal, his Gunners stay was still littered with some sensational skill.

The former Real Madrid man has since retired and even his farewell to the game was relatively understated for someone whose star once shone so bright. Ozil left the stage through the side door rather than a grand goodbye, calling time on his playing days after an injury-hit spell at Istanbul Basaksehir.
