The Arsenal playmaker is involved in several charities and recently announced at his wedding to Amine Gulse that he would fund surgery for 1000 children for the charity BigShoe.

The charity was founded in 2006, when Germany hosted the World Cup and works alongside German and Swiss doctors to help children around the world with life-changing surgeries.

Additionally, Ozil made donations to Turkish Red Crescent that fed 16,000 homeless people including Syrian refugees.

Ozil also invites kids from charity projects he is involved in to every home game at the Emirates, putting aside five of the 15 seats in his box to be used by these children and their families.
