Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil is king of the assists after taking his career tally to 200

ARSENAL playmaker Mesut Ozil chalked up his 200th career assist during his side's Champions League victory over Ludogorets.

The phenomenal milestone was reached as the German set up Granit  Xhaka for a header in last night's 3-2 win in Bulgaria with a neat cross.

After a slowish start to his Gunners career following his £42.5million move from Real Madrid in September 2013, Ozil has been in sensational form.

He racked up an impressive 19 Premier League assists last season to be the most creative player that term.

Ozil, 28, levelled Cesc Fabregas' total from the 2014/15 campaign but was one short of the record set by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who created 20 goals in the 2002/03 season.

And the Germany World Cup winner has carried that remarkable  form into this campaign as Arsenal push for glory on all four fronts.

As well as being a supreme creator, he has also found his scoring boots.

Ozil netted a superb winner against Ludogorets, taking his tally for the season to seven already.

His total for goals scored last term was eight.
