The recipient of a doctor of medicine from Yale University School of Medicine, Dr. Michael Simons is an experienced physician who has served as RW Berliner Professor of Medicine at the school since 2008 and is the founding director of the Yale Cardiovascular Research Center. Outside of his professional responsibilities, Dr. Michael Simons is a fan of the English soccer club Arsenal FC.
The 2017-18 season has been a tumultuous one for Arsenal as the club recently lost core players Theo Walcott, Francis Coquelin, Alexis Sanchez, and Olivier Giroud, but management restored a sense of stability on February 1 by signing midfielder Mesut Ozil to a three-year contract extension worth a reported 350,000 pounds a week. At more than double what he previously earned, the 29 year old will become the highest-paid player in the Premier League. The signing also puts an end to his rumored exit as a free transfer following the end of the season.
Through 21 games this season, Ozil has four goals on 32 shots and seven assists to go along with 10 blocked shots and a tackle success rate of 67 percent. He has appeared in 137 career Premier League games and has 27 goals and 49 assists.
