Diberhentikan Arsenal dari daftar tim, namun amal kebajikan Ozil tidak berhenti untuk kota London.
Pemain muslim kewarganegaraan Jerman itu ternyata 'diam-diam' menyediakan 1.400 makanan setiap hari untuk anak-anak sekolah di London Utara.
Demikian disampaikan Simon Collings, wartawan sepakbola di media Evening Standard.
"...tanpa sepengetahuan masyarakat luas. Sekolah di Barnet, Enfield dan Hertfordshire mendapat manfaat. Ozil bekerja dengan badan amal lokal. Kejutan kecil yang menyenangkan untuk anak-anak sekolah di Barnet pagi ini saat mereka mengetahui bahwa mereka mendapat makan siang gratis sepanjang minggu dari Ozil," tulis Simon Collings di akun twitternya @sr_collings, Selasa (27/10/2020).

Sounds like this could have been going on a while, without wider public knowing.

Hi @SR_Collings this was a BSFL initiative that Mesut Ozil and Stefan Peppert got behind and supported us with. So far we have raised over £3,000 with 1,400 meals per day prepped and delivered to schools 👊 https://t.co/52KaXmgMnF
