‘They miss his mentality every day’ – Mesut Ozil aims dig at Chelsea for letting ‘world’s best defender’ leave

Mesut Ozil, a former Arsenal player, has criticized Chelsea for letting go of their "world's best defender," Thiago Silva. According to Ozil, Silva is sorely missed in west London.

Thiago Silva was signed by Chelsea from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019 for a reported fee of £35 million. During his time at Chelsea, he has been an integral part of the team's defense and has helped them win several trophies, including the UEFA Champions League in 2020.

However, Silva's contract with Chelsea is set to expire in June 2023, and there have been reports that the club is not willing to renew it. This has led to speculation that Silva may leave Chelsea at the end of the season.

Ozil, who played for Arsenal from 2013 to 2019, has a history of criticizing Chelsea. In an interview with The Guardian in 2018, he accused the club of being "disrespectful" and "unprofessional" after they refused to pay him the wages he was owed.

It is unclear if Ozil's comments about Silva are related to his past criticisms of Chelsea. However, it is clear that Silva has been a valuable player for Chelsea during his time at the club and that his departure could have a significant impact on their defense.
