MESUT OZIL has undergone an incredible body transformation thanks to his hard work in the gym.

The former Arsenal star has been working out under the guidance of personal trainer Alper Aksac.

Mesut Ozil had a slender physique throughout his playing career

He has been a frequent visitor to the gym since retiring

Some fans feel he ought to return to playing

While he boasted a six-pack during his playing days, Ozil was always rather scrawny and one of his biggest weaknesses was his physicality.

The former Germany international has been a regular at the gym since he retired earlier this year, and as a result, he has gained muscle.

Ozil’s trainer has posted multiple videos of the 35-year-old working out, showing him performing everything from push-ups to bicep curls.

The former midfielder flexed his biceps on a cable machine and curled dumbells to increase his muscles.

In another Instagram post Ozil flashed his six-pack as he beamed at the camera.

Fans were impressed with his transformation and suggested he ought to come out of retirement.

One said: “Bro needs to come out of retirement play for like three or four more years.”

A third wrote: “Brother is gathering strength to come back strong to Fener. It will be a bit like before. Later he will come back to Fener again.”

And another commented: “M10 getting swole!!! Unit!.”

Another added: “Ozil start playing football again😭”
