Arsenal’s star playmaker Mesut Ozil has thanked his fans for their support on social media.

The 27-year-old now has 8 million followers on Instagram making him the most followed Arsenal player.

Ozil uploaded the following picture to social media along with the caption, “Thank you for 8 mio. fans on instagram! #AmazingSupport.”

Ozil is expected to miss the first game of the Premier League season against Liverpool on August 14 due to concerns over his fitness so a good shin dig may just help get him back into shape sooner than expected.

The 27-year-old star scored one goal and provided one assist during Germany’s run to the semi finals. The Arsenal playmaker also boasted a pass accuracy of 91% and created 48 chances for his team-mates throughout the tournament.
