Mesut Ozil believes he is one of the best assist-makers in the world but admits he does not pay attention to his statistics for Arsenal.
The Germany international, who has 18 assists this season, has four Premier League games remaining to break Thierry Henry’s record of 20 in a single campaign.
Arsenal will end the season without a trophy for the first time in three years and the midfielder insists he is aiming for titles rather than any personal records.
“I honestly don’t pay that much attention to the numbers,” Ozil told Arsenal’s official magazine.
“You become aware of some things, like being close to breaking the assist record, but I don’t play the game to smash records. I know what I can do and I know that I’m one of the best assist makers in the world. But it’s all about titles for me.
“If I have a great season but we don’t win anything, what does it bring me?
