The 2018 World Cup is just over a month away, and the anticipation for it is gradually beginning to rise. The Premier League and UEFA Champions League are excellent tournaments, but nothing compares to the grandeur of the World Cup. At this year’s edition of the tournament, Arsenal will potentially have 14 players representing their countries. This one of the highest totals of any club in world football. Out of all those names, let’s see whose most likely to make an impact on the world stage.
Here are three players to watch out for in the 2018 World Cup.
1Mesut Özil
For Arsenal he’s the star man, for Germany he’s the star man. Regardless of what pundits have to say about the German, Mesut Özil is respected by his peers. The fact that the 29-year-old has 89 caps to his name speaks volumes about the quality he possesses. That’s why Joachim Löw has made him the focal point of an incredibly talented German side, as he is the key to success in that team.
It’s come out recently that Mesut Özil has been nursing a back problem this year and that’s why he will not feature in another Arsenal game this season. He’s fully focused on being fit for the World Cup, so he can once again lead Joachim Löw’s team to glory. Mesut Özil is a stand-out player in any team he’s part of, and now he’ll show us once again that he can compete with the elites of the game.
