Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is thrilled to have Ozil reaching his potential during a promising start to the season.

The 27-year-old was the heartbeat of Arsenal's attack as they swept aside rivals Manchester United 3-0 earlier this month and Wenger believes that performance should be a benchmark for Ozil.

Arsenal's record signing also scored his first goal of the season against Louis van Gaal's side, which Wenger sees as a sign of things to come.
