Arsenal star Mesut Ozil made one fans dream come true yesterday on Twitter.
It all started when Twitter user @anupadu asked Ozil if he could send a shout out to his friend who came over from Australia to watch an Arsenal game.

After 80 days messaging Ozil the playmaker of Turkish origin finally responded and sent a heartfelt message.
The 29-year-old wished a happy birthday and thanked the support being shown.
Well there you have it… patience does pay!
Just noticed that @anupadu has been tweeting me almost 80 days in a row just to get a birthday message from me to her friend. ? Here it is, just in time: Have the best birthday today!? ? You already seem to have the best friend. All the best and keep supporting us ??? //t.co/E8jITAIEfl
