Arsene Wenger admits doubts over Ozil

Arsene Wenger admits he is unsure whether Mesut Ozil can deal with the responsibility of being a leading light in his Arsenal side.

The German World Cup winner has been criticised in recent months for a perceived inability to take a game by the scruff of the neck.

Ozil was once again on the periphery last weekend as Tottenham secured a 2-0 win over their local rivals, leaving Arsenal’s top-four hopes hanging by a thread, as Wenger refuses to announce whether he will stay at the club beyond the end of the season.
