Mesut Ozil swaps football for modelling

Arsenal star Mesut Özil

Mesut Özil may have been ruled out of football until the end of the year so decided to dabble with a bit of modelling while on the road to recovery.

The 25-year-old playmaker has posted photoshopped images on his Instagram account sporting a big smile, gelled hair and a leather coat.

The former Real Madrid playmaker has been absent from first team football and training following a knee injury sustained in Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat to London rivals Chelsea.

Özil is set to feature in Esquire UK which is a  a monthly magazine for men which features articles on luxury design and culture, food, business and technology, style, music and books.

Özil has been ruled out with injury until the new year.
