Justin Bieber an Arsenal fan now? Mesut Ozil, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain give him training ground tour

The Arsenal stars, who recently triumphed over Swansea in a 3-2 victory, seemed to unwind by hanging out with none other than Canadian popstar Justin Bieber. Bieber, who is currently in the United Kingdom for his Purpose Tour was present at London's Signor Sassi restaurant on Sunday, where he had dinner with birthday boy Mesut Ozil, according to a report The Telegraph. 

Oxlade-Chamberlain was present for Bieber's concert at London's O2 arena on 4 October, and then treated Bieber to a late night tour of Arsenal's Colney training ground, where Mesut Ozil was present as well. Bieber and Ozil even snapped a picture together, where the young singer is seen posing with Ozil's Arsenal jersey while Ozil is holding a Purpose Tour tee.

Arsenal currently are sitting comfortably in second place in the English Premier League standings, level on points with leaders Manchester City. They face Bulgarian side Ludogrets on 19 October at the Emirates stadium, as they seek to consolidate their place in the Champions League.

These recent pictures showing Gunner Bieber have once again sparked debate about Bieber's favourite football club, with the singer regularly adding more of them to a seemingly endless list.

Justin's infamous dalliances with various football clubs began in 2011, when he brandished a Barcelona jersey on his visit to their training ground. His connection to Barcelona was reestablished in 2016 through his Instagram posts with Neymar, who he seemed very friendly with. Since 2011, he also went on to sport a full Chelsea kit, and even played in a match for Canadian side Stratford City.

In early 2015, much like Bieber himself, his football allegiance began its tour, stopping by Everton on the way, as he indicated through posts on Twitter:

Rio Ferdinand comments on Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Arsenal drew 0-0 with the Premier League champions on Saturday.

Arsenal remain winless in the Premier League after being held to a goalless draw away to Premier League champions Leicester City on Saturday night.

The Gunners went into the game knowing they needed a result in order to avoid being six points behind Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea this early in the campaign, after losing 4-3 to Liverpool in their season opener last week.

But Arsenal tried and failed to reduce that gap to three on another frustrating evening for Arsene Wenger's side, who are now five points off the pace already.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - who scored against Liverpool - was given a run in the first XI this week and the 22-year-old winger looked sharp early on, trying his luck from outside the box on 25 minutes but it never tested Kasper Schmeichel.

Oxlade-Chamberlain had a poor 2015-16 on the whole, as his campaign was disrupted by a lack of form and fitness, but he had a decent pre-season and Rio Ferdinand admits he likes what he sees from the youngster so far.

It hasn't been a brilliant start by Arsenal. One point from six hardly has their Premier League rivals quaking, but it was against Liverpool and the reigning champions so perhaps it is harsh to be overly judgemental on Wenger's side.

71 touches, 7 take-ons: Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain superb on international duty

Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was superb for England on Monday night.

Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain produced an excellent performance for England on Monday night as they crushed a poor Lithuania side 3-0.

With qualification already assured, England boss Roy Hodgson went for an experimental XI including Oxlade-Chamberlain acting as a wide forward with Jamie Vardy on the opposite flank.

The 22-year-old is versatile and can play in a number of positions in the final third, providing pace in wide areas or the option of directness and a sense of urgency through the middle.

Against Lithuania, he was tasked with the former and really put his opponents to the sword, topping off a superb outing with England‘s third and final goal in a dominant victory.

	Goals	Shots	Key Passes	Take-ons	Touches	Accurate Passes	Tackles	Mins Played
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain	1	2	1	7	71	45	3	90

As per the table provided by Opta Stats, Oxlade-Chamberlain shone in a number of key attacking areas.

Aside from his well-taken goal, the Gunners’ ace tested Lithuania shot-stopper Giedrius Arlauskis twice, created one chance via a key pass and completed a team-high seven successful take-ons.

In possession, Oxlade-Chamberlain was assured as he took 71 touches and made 45 accurate passes, all while remembering his defensive duties with an impressive three tackles.

It has been a highly positive international break for the Gunners with Olivier Giroud, Alexis Sanchez, Santi Cazorla, Theo Walcott and now Oxlade-Chamberlain finding the net while no injuries were suffered.

The North Londoners resume action this Saturday against Watford and boss Arsene Wenger will have one big selection headache with a number of players impressing over the past few days.
