He has won many titles, developed some good players and has always played excellent football, so you know as a player if you come here you are going to be able to develop and play in that style. "He is an honest guy, a very respectful guy, has a good personality, and everybody wants to play under him." Ozil's future at the Emirates Stadium was uncertain before the Germany international signed a three-year deal in February. The 29-year-old, who has scored four goals and assisted eight in the Premier League this season, said he always wanted to remain at Arsenal. "He is the boss who brought me here and wanted me to stay so I said I am comfortable here, I never wanted to leave and that's why I stayed," Ozil said. "Now we want to reach our further goals."</blockquote>
