Arsenal okay with third place finish, says Ozil

Mesut Ozil says Arsenal will have achieved their pre-season target if they finish third in the Premier League, although he acknowledges they could have won the title this season. Arsenal sit fourth in the table with three games remaining, level on points with third-placed Manchester City, and Ozil is adamant their campaign should not be classified a failure if they are able to leapfrog City before the end of the season. Arsenal sit 12 points behind leaders Leicester City and Ozil feels Claudio Ranieri’s men deserve the title following their fine season.
