Arsenal star Theo Walcott has claimed that teammate Mesut Ozil epitomises the "quality" that the team possess.

The German World Cup winner had an indifferent start to his Arsenal career following his club-record £42.4m transfer from Real Madrid in the summer of 2013.

This season, Ozil has made three assists, while also creating the most goalscoring chances than any other player in the Premier League.

"The first thing he does when he has the ball, in fact when he hasn't even got the ball, is that he looks," Walcott told Arsenal Player. "He looks first before he gets the ball and he knows where he's going to play it before he's even got it. That just shows the sort of quality we have in this team.

"He makes football look easy and he's a special player who has so many assists in his game. He can do it anywhere on the pitch, he's a threat from anywhere and when you've got that in your dressing room you can build on it."

Arsenal are preparing for Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester United on home turf.
