Arsenal stars Ozil & Kolasinac both smile after the thrilling car chase

Arsenal stars Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac were all smiles this morning a day after they were chased for a mile by knife-wielding carjackers.

Kolasinac showed himself walking alongside his teammate in a tweet captioned, 'Think we're all fine'.

Ozil, a £350,000-a-week midfielder, was ambushed by the robbers as he drove his black Mercedes G-Class through leafy Childs Hill at around 5pm on Thursday.

But as the thugs surrounded the 4x4, Ozil's Arsenal teammate and childhood friend, Sead 'The Tank' Kolasinac, leapt out and bravely took them on.

CCTV footage form the scene shows Kolasinac swinging punches at the attackers and standing his ground against them despite being threatened with a knife. The attackers' motorbike pulls away as the footage cuts.

But rather than that being the end of the drama, the players were then chased through the mansion-lined streets of north London in Ozil's 4x4 in a high-speed chase that lasted for more than a mile.

Ozil sped off and overtook traffic on the wrong side of the road as 'ninja style' masked moped muggers gave chase.
