When he’s hot, he’s hot. Mesut Ozil was at his magnificent best for Arsenal against Leicester on Monday night, scoring an equaliser on the stroke of half-time before playing major roles in his team’s match-winning goals after the break.
Ozil is immensely popular at the Emirates Stadium – few other players in world football can reach his levels on a good day – but it hasn’t often been plain-sailing for the 30-year-old Gunners technician.
He's in his sixth season at Arsenal following a £42.5m switch from Real Madrid in summer 2013, and now holds the mantle of Germany’s finest goal-getter in Premier League history. Surprisingly few players from his country have made a major impact on scoresheets since 1992/93 – only 15 of this motley crew made it to five goals – but we want you to name them anyway.
This one’s not easy: while many are household names, lots of the men below won’t be remembered for their goalscoring prowess – so we’ve also given you their positions to help you out a little. There’s 10 minutes on the clock for you to get this one done, and then we’d like you to tell us how you got on @FourFourTwo – you could see your name on our daily Twitter leaderboard. After that, pass it around your pals to see how they get on.
