With eight days off ahead Monday's crucial clash with Manchester City at the Emirates Arsenal players are making the most of a few days off ahead of the match.

And few deserve a break more than inspirational playmaker Mesut Ozil, who added to his league best tally of 13 assists in another impressive solo display away to Aston Villa on Saturday.

It seems that Ozil is enjoying his days off in style, with the 27-year-old taking to Instagram to share photos from a yacht in warmer climes than London Colney.

Ozil was certainly not to be rushed off his feet as he enjoyed some winter sun, ironically posting that he was "always assisting" as he lay down on the yacht.

Arsenal fans surely will not begrudge the German a well-deserved break, they'll just be hoping he can steer clear of any injuries.
