ARSENE WENGER believes Mesut Ozil possesses a killer instinct in front of goal like other natural finishers.
Ozil has been in sensational form for Arsenal this season having scored seven goals in all competitions so far.
At this stage last year the Germany international had just the solitary Premier League goal to his name but he has been integral to Arsenal's unbeaten run of 15 games this term.
Only Theo Walcott and Alexis Sanchez have more goals than Ozil this season with eight goals apiece.

Arsene Wenger called Mesut Ozil a killer in front of goalAnd Arsene Wenger believes the 28-year-old is showcasing his calm nature in front of goal to devastating effect.
“The difference today is he focuses more on efficiency,” said Wenger.
“When he arrived here he was more focused on playing. Today efficiency is more in his mind.
“The main transformation we got from him [is that he] makes more runs in behind to score goals. I always encouraged him. I convinced him that he has it in his locker to score goals.
“He was more focused on giving and looking [before] – today he understands that he can have those qualities but as well be on the end of things.
“He has a fantastic attribute of a guy who is a good finisher – he is calm. You notice all the finishers are killers. That means they keep their nerve in front of goal and he has that.”
