Jack Wilshere reckons Cesc Fabregas had the edge over Mesut Ozil because of his greater ability to a control a game.
Former Arsenal star Wilshere played with both men during his time in north Londion before he joined West Ham in 2018 after an injury-hit spell.
And the midfielder has explained the key difference between his former teammates.
He said: "They can change a game and they can control a game – more so Fabregas could control a game. That’s the difference.
"Ozil wouldn’t really get involved in the build-up but Cesc would drop. I’ve seen games where he must have greated 10 to 12 goalscoring opportunities just by dropping off.
"I’ve had this conversation with him recently where that player is sort of going out the game a little bit.
"Not that quick, not really strong but just playing with your brain. I played in a few games where he [Cesc] was man marked which says it all really.
"Someone who is not going to really run away from you with the ball or beat and push you off the ball.
"To literally be man marked, I remember we played Bolton once and Fabrice Muamba followed him for the whole game."
