Now this is just showing off…
Mesut Ozil is on course to bank another productive season for Arsenal.
The 28-year-old, in his fourth season at the Emirates, currently has four goals and two assists in the Premier League and a more impressive record of four goals and three assists in the Champions League so far this season.
The German picked up his third European assist in the Gunners’ most recent match against Basel on Tuesday night as Arsenal strolled to a 4-1 victory which ensured a first place finish in Group A – the first time Arsenal topped a Champions League group since 2012.
The assist-loving wizard recently featured in a video promoted by the Arsenal Foundation, an organisation that uses the power of football and the Arsenal name to support and inspire young people in North London.
The video features Ozil performing kick-ups.
“So what?” You might say.
So this!
Ozil takes the difficulty up a notch by replacing the football with a coin which is just annoyingly impressive.
The Gunners will be hosting their annual charity matchday at this weekend’s fixture against Stoke City.
A feature of this event is that each Arsenal player donates a days’ wages to the Arsenal Foundation.
This is now the 10th consecutive year that this has taken place.
Fair play to everyone involved.
Diarmuid Connolly makes his long overdue GAA Hour debut and talks to Colm Parkinson about everything from the black card to his rivalry with Lee Keegan and how he honed the ability to kick accurately with either foot.
