Starting off the thread by tweeting, "It's a wet afternoon in north London, so let us brighten up your Sunday," they followed it up with six memorable Ozil strikes.

Fans were left convinced this was proof he has agreed a new contract with the FA Cup champions.

The German World Cup winner - along with Alexis Sanchez - will become free agents in the summer should they fail to agree new terms with Arsenal.

Ozil joined the Premier League side from Real Madrid in 2013 for a then club-record fee of £42.5million.
