Having been excluded from Arsenal's Premier League and Europa League squads, Mesut Ozil has joked about linking up with AS Roma legend Francesco Totti in Italy. Last week, Roma's Twitter account responded to a report claiming that Ozil might pursue a career as a social media admin next, linked with taking up a job as the Italian club's new admin. The report came after Ozil live-tweeted Arsenal's Europa League clash against Rapid Wien, hilariously mocking himself online and providing updates during the game.

AS Roma jokingly offer Mesut Ozil a new job as their new social media admin
On Friday, AS Roma responded to a report from Eurosport, which claimed that Mesut Ozil could probably be lining up a new job after being omitted from Mikel Arteta's plans. Roma had some fun with the report and invited Ozil to take up a job as their social media admin, adding a 'handshake' emoji as well. Ozil, whose current £350k-a-week contract expires in the summer of 2021, has been left out of Arsenal's Europa League and Premier League squads until January and is linked with a move away from the Emirates over the winter.

Earlier this month, the 32-year-old explained his "disappointment" over not being included in the Arsenal squad but vowed to continue working hard to eventually earn a spot in Arteta's plans for the second half of the season. Although Ozil wasn't able to play during Arsenal's 2-1 win over Rapid Wien in the Europa League on Thursday, the World Cup winner grabbed plenty of attention on social media as he live-tweeted the game from home.
