da esport bet： Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has claimed that he needs to be more selfish in order to add to his goal tally, according to reports from the Guardian.
da 888： Ozil currently holds the record for being the Gunners’ most expensive ever transfer, arriving from Real Madrid two seasons ago via a £42.5million fee.
However, the Germany international has been challenged by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to add to his total goal tally, which currently stands at nine league goals in 51 Premier League games.

Known for being the assist-king, Ozil admits that he will need to become a more selfish player to score goals, but he will always put the team ahead of his personal record.
“I want to score more goals than in the last two seasons and that’s my aim for this season,” he said.
“I think now and then I need to become a bit more selfish – then I’d definitely score more goals. But I’m a player who thinks for the team first and not for my own needs and that’s why I will carry on to play the way I always do. I think that’s one of my distinguishing characteristics.
“For me it’s not just goals and assists that mean everything, what’s more important is that we’re successful as a team.
“My aim is to help the team and I’ll do all I can to achieve that. In truth I’m more the sort of player who doesn’t really go for goal, I tend to look for my team-mates and think, ‘Can I play this pass?’.”
The Gunners haven’t had the best start to their Premier League campaign, garnering four points out of a possible nine and only scoring two goals in three games.
Arsenal travel to St. James’ Park to face Newcastle United this Saturday in their next league fixture.
