Michael Owen: 'Mesut Ozil not world class'

Former Liverpool and Manchester United forward Michael Owen describes Arsenal's Mesut Ozil as "inconsistent".

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has disputed claims that Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil is a world-class player.

The ex-England international said that the German is not capable of leading the Gunners to the Premier League title as he is too inconsistent.

"[Arsenal] don't have the class of player to go toe to toe with the main title contenders," Owen told Sportlobster.

"Despite people constantly telling me Mesut Ozil is world class, his inconsistency means that we only see occasional glimpses of real quality.

"His odd good performance is usually followed by half-a-dozen poor ones."

Ozil joined Arsenal from Real Madrid last summer in a deal worth £42.5m.
