Mesut Ozil admits that the first four aspirations of Arsenal are out of reach of the hands with two left-wingers

Mesut Ozil said Arsenal will have to rely on Chelsea to sneak into the top four in the Premier League just two games from the end.

"We have to hope that Chelsea lose points and we win our match, which is at home," he told DAZN DACH, relayed by Goal.

"If that happens, we'll be back in the top four and we'll do everything to make sure we get back there. We want to measure ourselves against the best and the Champions League gives you a chance to do it. We want to prove ourselves, but we have to qualify first. It's very important, not just for me, but for the whole club. "

Arsenal 's losing streak threatened to derail the promising season ahead for the Emirates Stadium team, the series of results puzzling Ozil and his teammates. However, the German admitted that there was still a chance to finish in the first four places and that his team will fight to get it.

"We can not really explain what happened," he added. "We did everything we could to access the Champions League places, but that did not work for us in the last three games. We lost three in a row, it can happen in football. The most important thing is that we stay together, we are positive and we believe in ourselves. "
