The German World Cup winner returned to action in January after three months out on the sidelines.

He has since returned with a series of impressive displays, scoring two goals and assisting five to lift the Gunners to third in the Premier League standings.

And now the 26-year-old has set his sights on another trophy after claiming the FA Cup last term.

“I think it’s been very positive [this season],” Ozil said. “Of course picking up my injury was a negative because I missed a lot of games. But if you look at the league and my performances, I’m really satisfied.

“I’d say I’m on the right way. What’s most important is that I perform well consistently. The team support me really well and the manager gives me his trust.

“I’ve missed a lot of football and I think it shows on the pitch that I worked very hard during that time. So now I just want to... help the team and I’m on the right path.

“The most important thing is that we win games as a team. Of course it’s nice if I can give an assist or score a goal, but really, what’s most important is that we are successful as a team.

“We’re rightfully near the top of the table and in the semi-finals of the FA Cup again. I think we can win trophies again this year, and if we do that, we will be satisfied.”
