"If you see him training or playing you can see that he's completely committed to the team and that's really good.

"He's very important for us and he's a top-quality player. He helps us a lot with assists and scoring goals. "When the other teams see him on the pitch, they say, 'Oh Mesut is here, we need to be careful' so he's an important player."
