Justin Bieber is one lucky Arsenal fan.

The 22-year-old pop star was spotted wearing a Gunners top earlier this summer, and Bieber has now been given the equivalent of Willy Wonka's golden ticket after being shown around the club's training ground by Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Bieber is currently on the UK leg of his global Purpose World Tour, and met up with Arsenal star Ozil this weekend before exchanging tops to show their mutual appreciation.

Ozil posted a picture of the duo on Facebook with the message: "Shirt swap with this guy. Nice to see you, Justin Bieber #justin #bieber #purposetour".

One fan couldn't resist referencing Ozil's impressive assist record for the Gunners, suggesting Bieber has finally sought help in finding the answer to one of his most famous questions.

But there was more Arsenal joy to come for Bieber, who was taken on a tour of the club's Colney training complex by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after the midfielder had been treated to Purpose Tour delights earlier in the week.

Oxlade-Chamberlain posted a picture of himself with Bieber on Twitter with the message: "Really enjoyed the show on Wednesday and great to take @justinbieber around the training ground last night".

Bieber latest UK surprise comes after he shunned expensive restaurants in favour of a pub in Essex last week, stopping off for dinner at The Kings Oak hotel in Epping Forest.

Locals couldn't understand why the chart-topping singer would choose to dine at the Kings Oak Hotel, with one tweeting: "Out of all the places to go, why did Justin Bieber go to the Kings Oak in High Beech for dinner tonight."

Bieber’s pub dinner came after he turned up at a North London school for a kickabout with pupils.

The singer – who is in the UK for his Purpose World Tour – donned a bib to join in with the senior football team at Highgate School.

Pupils couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the world famous pop star with one tweeting: “I'm screaming JUSTIN BIEBER just turned up + played football with all my mates. Why is he here and why did he want to play with us.”
