Mesut Ozil thinks becoming more selfish will help him score more goals.

Mesut Ozil, who has only scored 12 times since arriving Arsenal in 2013, thinks he will score more goals if he becomes selfish on the football pitch. 

"I want to score more goals than in the last two seasons and that’s my aim for this season. What’s important firstly is that we are successful as a team. That’s most crucial for us and as I said, for me it’s not just goals and assists that mean everything, what’s more important is that we’re successful as a team. My aim is to help the team and I’ll do all I can to achieve that. In truth I’m more the sort of player who doesn’t really go for goal, I tend to look for my team-mates and think, 'Can I play this pass?' I think now and then I need to become a bit more selfish - then I’d definitely score more goals. But I’m a player who thinks for the team first and not for my own needs and that’s why I will carry on to play the way I always do. I think that’s one of my distinguishing characteristics," he told Arsenal player.
