Arsenal's Mesut Ozil buys SHISHA pipe, just as Coach denies club has smoking problem

Football star Mesut Ozil looks like he is joining the league of Arsenal's smoking club after buying a shisha pipe reports UK Mirror.

The £42.5million Arsenal forward was seen coming out from a specialist shop with all the gear last week after teammate Jack Wilshere was also spotted holding a pipe in a nightclub.

Arsene Wenger will be ­surprised when he sees the Sunday People's exclusive photos just barely 48 hours after he dislodges a smoking culture at his Premier League club.

The coach was forced to have a word with Wilshere, 23, last week for the 3rd time about the England star’s obvious smoking habit.

And only last month the Coach fined 24-year-old goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny £20,000 for lighting up a ciggie in the ­dressing room following the team’s 2-0 win against Southampton.

Ozil, 26, spent several minutes in the shisha shop in central London trying to select a pipe he fancied most.

A staff then assisted the £140,000-a-week star load his goods into the back of his car.

The player’s parents are originally from Turkey, where the pipes play a large part in cultural their life. Shisha pipes uses flavoured tobacco which is drawn through a long pipe connected to a vessel filled with water.

The World Health Organisation has cautioned that a one-hour shisha session is worse than smoking 100 cigarettes.

On Friday, Arsenal's coach, Wenger now 65, claims that ­people were wrong to claim there is a smoking culture at Arsenal.

While speaking about the photo of Wilshere holding the pipe, he said: “I’ve spoken with him about that, he’s not a smoker but he is sorry for what happened.

“It’s down to him to master his life. He had a day off the next day, he went out to watch the Superbowl.

“When he is here he has to follow the rules that we ­dictate.

"When he’s out of his job it’s his own ­responsibility to behave like he wants to behave.”

Wilshere, who has not played any match since November because of an ankle injury, has been previously pictured with a cigarette twice – at a Las Vegas pool party last summer and outside a London club in 2013.

After the latest photos appeared, he put a video online of himself training with the words: “Worry about your character not your reputation.”
