Watch ex-Arsenal star Mesut Ozil’s defence-splitting assist for Fenerbahce as 32-year-old proves he’s still got it

MESUT OZIL has reminded Arsenal fans what they're missing after delivering a beautiful defence-splitting assist for Fenerbahce.

The 32-year-old linked up with the Turkish side in January after having his contract terminated by the Gunners.

Ozil had failed to be included in Mikel Arteta's Premier League and Europa League squads for the 2020-21 season, with Arsenal keen to get him off their wage bill.

And seven months after departing the Emirates, the North Londoners are yet to replace him as Arteta desperately looks to sign a playmaker.

Leicester's James Maddison is understood to be the priority, but supporters have been left wondering if they should have kept Ozil following his dazzling pass.

Picking up the ball on the byline during the pre-season friendly against Dynamo Kiev, Ozil drifted inside before spotting the run of Dimitris Pelkas.

His eye-of-the-needle pass saw him pick out the Greece international who darted towards the six-yard box after starting his run outside the box.

Having evaded the defenders, he had the simple task of slotting past Kiev goalkeeper Denys Boyko after Ozil somehow found him.

Fans immediately took to social media to laud the assist, as one tweeted: "He's still f****** got it."

Another commented: "As a striker as soon as you get a ball from Mesut a touch is all you need and it’s at the back of the net."

A third added: "That pass was sublime. This is what Aubameyang is missing, Ozil loves a running striker, run ahead of him he releases you with a lovely pass."
