Mesut Ozil has shocked football fans in recent weeks with a stunning body transformation after he posted videos and photos of his new physique on social media. He's not the only player to have bulked up after retirement.
The former Arsenal midfielder called it a day last year at the age of 34 and has not kept it secret that the gym is now his second home after leaving the game.
He is not the only player who has turned to weights, though, following the conclusion of his career. Former Liverpool and Chelsea striker Fernando Torres also switched his lean physique for a sizeable one, which certainly surprised many.
