"Mesut Ozil is a massive player for this football club," Arteta was quoted by Arsenal's official website as saying.
"I work with him and I know when he clicks, what he can bring to the team. It's my job to get the best out of him, of course."
Arteta added: "As I said before, what I want is to understand how they are feeling and what they need. It's not so much about what I need.
"You have to understand them. Sometimes with conversation, you get to understand a point.
