Mesut Ozil not bothered by criticism

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil insists that criticism of his performances does not bother him.

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has insisted that he is not worried by criticism of his performances for the club.

A string of indifferent displays have seen the Germany international come under pressure at the Emirates Stadium following his £42.4m move from Real Madrid in summer 2013.

Despite his effectiveness for the Gunners being called into question, the 26-year-old remains confident in his own ability.

"I've been in this business so long now, I've been a professional since I was 16, 17," he told Esquire. "I don't care what the press thinks about me as football changes from day to day. You can play well one day and badly the next. I'm used to it."

Ozil is currently out of action with a knee injury, but he is expected to be back in action at the start of 2015.
