Arsenal star Santi Cazorla has said that he believes Mesut Ozil has the ability to define an era at the club like Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldinho.
According to the Daily Star, despite a quiet performance in the Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, Cazorla was full of praise for his midfield partner.
He said that he had got to know Ozil and had to say that it was very easy to have a good understanding with a great player like him, since their playing philosophy was very similar.
Ozil has been in sparkling form since making his club record move from Real Madrid, the report said.
He scored twice in last weekend's stunning 4-1 victory over Norwich City at the Emirates Stadium, the report added.
Cazorla and Ozil are both expected to be in Arsene Wenger's starting line-up for Saturday's lunchtime kick-off away at manager-less Crystal Palace, according to the report.
