Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has posted a video on social media of him meeting a “special” young blind fan. The video shows the midfielder meeting Mikey, who Ozil said suffers from a rare eye disease, smiling in an Arsenal shirt as he touches the face and hair of the playmaker. Happy to have had the chance to meet my special fan Mikey yesterday. “He lost his eyesight due to a rare eye disease but this certainly does not stop him from playing football. The Gunners’ next game comes in the Premier League on Monday when they take on Watford away at Vicarage Road.
