Ozil has won several trophies while at Arsenal since joining from Real Madrid in 2013, but the 31-year-old often still divides opinion about whether he is playing to his full potential.

And Smith, who won multiple trophies with the Gunners including two league titles and the FA Cup, is left "immensely frustrated" with the playmaker.

Ozil has only made 23 appearances this season, during which he has scored one goal and provided three assists.

And Smith believes the current Arsenal squad must also share in his annoyance about the midfielder's performances.

"He'll be regarded as one of those immensely talented players and Arsenal fans certainly can see how talented he is," Smith told Sky Sports .

"His team-mates can recognise that as they would see that every day, but even they will be frustrated."

Smith doesn't think Ozil's Arsenal career can be classed as a success and cannot see Gunners boss Mikel Arteta winning the Premier League with the German in his side.
