Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger compares Mesut Ozil to club legend Dennis Bergkamp ahead of the German's home debut for the Gunners.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has compared record signing Mesut Ozil to club legend Dennis Bergkamp.

Bergkamp was part of the Arsenal team that went an entire Premier League season unbeaten in 2003-04, and Wenger believes that Ozil has a lot of comparable qualities to the Dutch forward.

"Yes, he is a similar type [of player]," Wenger told reporters. "I think Ozil, at the start, has more a midfielder's mentality and Dennis, at the start, had more a striker's mentality. But he can score, yes.

"Dennis was maybe more prolific. Dennis was first a striker but he created as well. But Dennis's evolution through his career was an adaptation to his physical qualities. When he couldn't score any more, he became a great provider."

Ozil is set for his home debut against Stoke City this afternoon following his £42.5m move from Real Madrid.
