Arsenal playmaker, Mesut Ozil, has shown a touch of class after gifting a teenage Kenyan herdsboy signed jerseys and boots.
The gesture has now seen the dream of the young boy identified as Lawrence Masira come true.
Masira caught the attention of Ozil after a photo of him wearing a a self-written jersey with the inscription "Ozil 10" went viral on social media.
Kenyan Sports journalist, Erick Njiru, photographed Masira in December 2018 herding cows in the streets of Nairobi wearing the now famous kit.
Njiru went on to share the photo on Twitter, asking users to retweet it widely with the hope of reaching Ozil.
“I saw this kid today grazing in the streets of Nairobi – a city without really grass for cows. He told me he loves Mesut Özil so much (You can see his shirt). Maybe one day this can reach Ozil and get a real Arsenal shirt,” the journalist tweeted.
