Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta must build his team around Mesut Ozil , according to former Gunners winger Jermaine Pennant. Pennant says Ozil has “a new lease of life” following the appointment of old team-mate Arteta as Arsenal’s new boss. Ozil started as Arsenal drew 1-1 with Bournemouth in the Spaniard’s first game on Boxing Day. “They should build it around Ozil – he’s got a new lease of life,” Pennant told talkSPORT. “When he first came he was a fantastic player; he was getting assists, scoring goals and everyone was raving about him.
