(Photo) Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil pulls off an unlikely assist during pre-season

Mesut Ozil appears to be in high spirits going into pre-season training with Arsenal.

The 28-year-old has added another assist to his tally but not in the conventional sense.

Ozil shared a photo of himself on social media and stated that it had been a pleasure ‘assisting‘ Arsenal’s two club photographers.

The Germany international is pictured holding a DSLR camera and he even posted one of the photo’s he took.

Perhaps sports photography will be something Ozil ventures into once he hangs up his boots.

Ozil has been included in Arsenal’s pre-season squad despite having under 12 months remaining on his contract with the north London based club.
