MESUT OZIL showed off his incredible body transformation in a new video.
The Arsenal icon took fans inside his insane workouts as he flexed his muscles on camera.
Ozil, 35, retired from the beautiful game last year after struggling with injuries at Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir.
But in his prime, the German was regarded as one of football’s best playmakers.
Ozil scooped trophies with Werder Bremen, Real Madrid and Arsenal during a glittering club career.
The star, who made 244 appearances for the Gunners between 2013 and 2021, also led his country to glory at the 2014 World Cup.

As soon as he put his boots away, the ace hit the gym in a bid to bulk up.
And Ozil is now unrecognisable as he boasts bulging muscles all over.
