The Nutmeg: Mesut Ozil’s Arsenal exit, Mason Mount’s important to Chelsea and the genius of Tanguy Ndombele

Standard Sport18 January 2021

Welcome back to The Nutmeg as Standard Sport’s weekly football talk show reviews another weekend of Premier League action.

Every Monday afternoon, our football writers discuss the big talking points in London and beyond.

Mesut Ozil’s Arsenal exit dominates the agenda, with the playmaker set to sign for his boyhood club Fenerbahce. The team discuss his Gunners legacy, and what the next step for Mikel Arteta’s squad will be.

Over at Arsenal’s north London rivals Tottenham, Tanguy Ndombele scored a goal-of-the-season contender as Spurs beat Sheffield United 3-1 - and we ask whether the midfielder is the man to step up and take the pressure off Jose Mourinho’s top scorers Harry Kane and Heung-min Son.

Meanwhile, Mason Mount was on hand to rescue a win for Chelsea at 10-man Fulham. We take a look at the academy graduate’s growing importance to Frank Lampard in a team full of expensive summer signings.

All the above, and much more, was discussed by Dan Kilpatrick, Simon Collings, Jack Rosser and James Robson.
