Mesut Ozil remains a popular member of the Arsenal dressing room, despite his continuing struggle to win the full confidence of Unai Emery.

The former Real Madrid playmaker has been welcomed back into the first team fold in recent weeks following a lengthy period of inactivity around the turn of the year which saw him miss matches due to injury, sickness and tactical reasons.

Ozil has featured in five consecutive matches for the first time since September and produced a stunning individual display in the recent 5-1 win over Bournemouth, Arsenal’s biggest home Premier League win of the campaign.

While his relationship remains strained with his manager, he retains the faith of the majority of his teammates, particularly compatriot Shkodran Mustafi, Sead Kolasinac and Switzerland international midfielder Granit Xhaka.

The Times reports that although he can often cut a distant figure in training, he is generally well liked by the group and considered a consummate professional.

Indeed, Ozil’s conduct is said to represent a stark contrast to that of Alexis Sanchez, whose histrionics and desire to force a move to Manchester United drew resentment from the squad managed by Arsene Wenger.
