This classy gesture from Ozil shows that, despite some of the criticism that comes his way, he seems like a genuinely nice guy who cares about Arsenal fans.
The 31-year-old does also seem to be working his way back into the limelight at Arsenal with his recent performances.
Since Mikel Arteta came in as manager, Ozil has looked a different player, having been one of many to struggle badly under previous head coach Unai Emery.
