Arsenal midfielder Mesut Özil and this season’s ‘assist king’ took questions via the hashtag #AskOzil on Twitter this afternoon and we’ve picked out our favourites.
The German international has a total of 16 assists this season, double that of his nearest rival, and can afford to take some time out of training to field queries from fans.
He even attempted a couple of jokes himself:
