Mesut Ozil’s commitment for Arsenal has been questioned by some during his time in north London, but away from the pitch he has made an incredible impact.
The Germany international has been involved in numerous charity campaigns, the latest of which has included the funding of surgery for 11 African children.
Ozil has teamed up with the BigShoe11 campaign, alongside Juventus and France midfielder Paul Pogba, and have paid for the medical treatment of 22 children in need.

“A medical team has successfully operated 22 children in need,” Ozil posted on Twitter. “Proud to have the opportunity to help! #BigShoe.”
The message in the videos read: “I am happy to be a part of it. During the Euros I will pay for 11 surgeries of needy children. That’s my 11. That’s my favourite team.”
