A keen Ozil follower will notice that Gulse is always in her hubby’s games, cheering him on as he does what he knows best – football.

Ozil also has an Achilles heel , and it is none other than children.

The 31-year old has quite the admiration for young fans and he has been caught on camera severally interacting and making young children's days with his presence alone.

With Tuesday, October 15, being his birthday, TUKO.co.ke showcases some of Ozil’s highlights away from the pitch; where he has an assist or two, depending on how you look at it.

As far as his Arsenal career is concerned, Ozil is facing an uphill task as it is believed that the senior management in the side believe he is not working hard enough to break back into Unai Emery’s plans.

Arsenal’s highest earner might well be looking away from the Emirates after being linked with moves to big clubs in the Serie A including both Milan sides.
