Arsenal star Mesut Özil has caused a social media storm with his latest bizarre Instagram picture.

The World Cup winner poses with his baseball cap creating a shadow that masks half his face.

The 26-year-old does appear to giving a cheeky smirk but he gives nothing away as to the meaning behind his latest selfie except the caption, “M1ö.”

The hashtag #throwbackthursday is popular on social media and generally involves users sharing and look back fondly on some of their favorite memories.

Özil appears to be reliving his days as a rap star back in Germany in his throwback wearing a baseball cap often associated with hip hop culture.

If Özil does decide to get back into rapping Arsenal fans could be in for more of this:
