Arsenal's Ozil sends face masks to Kenyan boy

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has shown his class off the pitch again by assisting a young Kenyan boy, Lawrence Masira, with a signed autograph and a bag full of face masks.

Ozil, who was left out of Arsenal’s Premier League and Europa League squads for the 2020/21 season, and has been linked with a move away from North London, has moved to support the Kenyan boy he supported two years ago by sending him a gift hamper.

When Kenyan schools opened on January 4, 2021, the government had put masks as mandatory for all the students attending classes in a move aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
