Mesut Ozil looks to be thoroughly enjoying the extended break handed to him by Arsene Wenger.
The Arsenal midfielder was permitted extra time off after enduring a poor run of form for the Gunners and he has taken the opportunity to fly to Turkey.
Ozil, who is of Turkish descent, was photographed leaving a restaurant alongside Amine Gulse, a former winner of the Miss Turkey beauty pageant in 2014.
Gulse is a 23-year-old Swedish-born model who has also starred in a Turkish television series.
The pair, who have confirmed they are just friends, were also spotted together last week dining out at Novikov back in central London.
