On November 5, 2019, Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil left Kenyan fans in awe after sending them a merchandise of his signed No.10 shirt.

As seen in a short footage shared by Ozil on his Twitter handle, the exuberant fans can be heard singing his chant in his praise after receiving the goodies.

"This support is overwhelming. I hope you will find a good place for my little gift. Thank you so much Kenya," the 31-year-old captioned the video.

The kind gesture elicited delight and admiration among Twitter users, with one hailing Ozil as "my all-time footballer."

Notably, this is not the first time Ozil has shown his appreciation for Kenyan fans. In March 2019, he gifted a teenage herdsboy signed jerseys and boots after the boy's photo went viral on social media.
