The German World Cup winner is Europe’s top provider so far, with 11 assists in 18 matches to his name, yet has only found the back of the net three times across all competitions.
And although admitting he’d like to score more, the 27-year-old feels no pressure to ensure his name is constantly etched onto the scoresheet.
"I am an absolute team player. I don't need goals for my ego," he told Sport 1. "Whoever is positioned best in front of the goal should shoot. But I understand that I need to try to score myself from time to time. I do that now.
"On top of it all, that I have my position as the No. 10 in midfield now. And you should also not forget that we've got a super team, and get along really well.
"We all know how the others play, and you also predict the running path of a teammate in a situation."
When asked if he himself could be the difference in Arsenal claiming the League title this season, Ozil diplomatically answered, “Not because of Mesut Ozil, but with Mesut Ozil.
"We've twice won the FA Cup, and won the Charity Shield this summer too. We definitely want to improve that. Should we continue like that, and become just a tiny bit more consistent, it can work out. But the others don't sleep."
Arsenal take on Norwich City in their next League fixture on Sunday evening.
