Andrea Pirlo believes Arsenal attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil is the most creative footballer in the world.
The 36-year-old Italian is one of the most celebrated players of his generation and he has two Champions League titles, as well as a World Cup, to his name.
Arsenal shelled out a club record £42million for Mesut Ozil in 2013 and, though he’s taken time to adjust to England, the German midfielder is now starting to pay back his price tag with a number of fine performances.
And Pirlo believes that the former Real Madrid man is now the best attacking midfielder in Europe because of the vision he possesses.

‘He creates an unbelievable amount of chances for attackers playing ahead of him,’ said Pirlo.
‘He has vision like nobody else in Europe. Maybe the most creative player in Europe right now.’
