Neil Warnock has no doubt Mesut Ozil will come good again with Unai Emery's Arsenal – but would welcome the star playmaker to Cardiff City if things do not work out.
Ozil sat out the Gunners' 3-1 win over West Ham last weekend through illness, with head coach Emery forced to deny reports of a rift between himself and the former Real Madrid player.
International retirement following Germany's World Cup exit has also contributed towards a turbulent spell for Ozil but, as Cardiff prepare to host Arsenal on Sunday, Warnock has backed him to turn things around.
"Players play for certain managers and, for whatever reason, with others they don't," he said.
"When you're a top player like Ozil is – seen it all and done it all- it's only a matter of time until players like that click."
Asked whether he felt Ozil would play in the Welsh capital, Warnock jokingly replied: "I've got enough worries. He can come and play for me if he wants."
Cardiff's veteran manager professed his admiration for ex-Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain boss Emery but also reflected fondly upon his previous jousts with Arsene Wenger.
