Robbie Savage says Christian Eriksen and Heung-Min Son are not at Arsenal star’s level.
Pundit Robbie Savage has offered a swift rebuttal to a Tottenham Hotspur supporter who suggested two of their players are at the same level as Mesut Ozil.
The former Premier League midfielder was speaking to The Mirror, responding to a critique of his previous comment regarding Ozil as ‘world class’.

The supporter said that Ozil had netted fewer goals than Heung-Min Son and created less than Christian Eriksen, and could not justifiably claim to be at another level to the duo.
Savage responded by mocking the very suggestion, reasoning that no Arsenal fan would swap Ozil for either one of the Tottenham players.
He said: “You what? Heung-Min Son has done well for Spurs, especially when Harry Kane was injured, and I like Christian Eriksen, but if you round up all the Arsenal fans who would swap Mesut Ozil for either of them, I’ll find you a phone box for you to discuss it with them.”

Arsenal took on Tottenham at The Emirates last weekend, and none of the trio really had especially memorable games.
Spurs star Heung-Min Son began the season with a flourish, but his form has trailed off badly in recent games.
Eriksen has been compared to Ozil ever since arriving in North London the same summer for a quarter of the price, but he will not be regarded among the best until he begins delivering on the Champions League stage.
