Ozil Rewards Kenyan Kid Fan With Jersey
Mesut Ozil has rewarded a zealous kid from the remote parts of Kenya who seems to be a fan of the German with a signed shirt of his after he saw what the boy did with an Arsenal shirt.
The midfield maestro was attracted to a tweet by a man who shared photos of the boy herding cows while wearing a shirt with the name ‘Ozil’ written on it with ink.
I saw this kid today grazing in the streets of Nairobi – a city without really grass for cows. He told me he loves @MesutOzil1088 so much(You can see his shirt). Maybe one day this can reach Ozil and get a real @Arsenal shirt. pic.twitter.com/ojDbf1Loil

The German who has been left out of Emery’s team for a while said he was touched by the boy’s love for him despite his precarious conditions.
The picture of a Kenyan boy with a self made shirt on Twitter touched me so much. ??❤ And look at Lawrence now – it's so heartwarming to see him and his brothers happy??? #SocialMediaPower ?? #HappyToAssist #Nairobi #M1Ö pic.twitter.com/nQWgc0cABt

It would have been a respected move for Ozil who adorns the shirt number 10 if he had sent or mailed the shirt to Kenya but the midfielder who seemed to be touched by the tough love shown by the kid decided to present the boy with a cap to fit.
