in his new Arsenal role after starring in their
impressive victory away to Stoke City.
Ozil scored with an impressive chip during the
Gunners' 4-1 win on Saturday as his team
continued their strong run of results since
switching to a 3-4-3 system.
The formation sees the Germany international and
Alexis Sanchez line up behind a lone striker, Olivier
Giroud against Stoke, and the trio combined to
score all four of Arsenal's goals at the bet365
Stadium.
Since Wenger's change to the new system, Arsenal
have won six of their seven matches, with Ozil's
adaption to his own role impressing the manager.
"That is what you want from him," Wenger said to
Arsenal Player after the Stoke win.
"I think that he has blossomed in this position now
and overall he enjoys it.
"I must say, individually when the confidence is
high in the team, you see that all the players play
well."
Having beaten Stoke, Arsenal will conclude their
Premier League season with matches at home to
Sunderland and Everton as they seek a top-four
finish, before facing rivals Chelsea in a huge FA
Cup final.
Wenger continued: "I think this result is a continuity
of what we have done during the week.
"We played well against Man United, we played
well at Southampton and again here. So overall, I
think we had an exceptional performance, we have
a great team spirit and I am very proud of what we
did.
"We have not a lot of recovery because the games
come very thick and fast and we just have to
maintain the focus and prepare well for the next
one."
Relegated Sunderland visit the Emirates Stadium
on Tuesday.
