WATCH: Arsenal ace Ozil makes blind fan's dream come true

Mesut Ozil made a young Arsenal fan's dream come true this week.

The 30-year-old treated blind supporter Mikey to a night he will never forget at the Emirates on Thursday night as the North London side beat Napoli 2-0.

After the match he was involved in a heartwarming meeting with a young supporter, who looked delighted as he touched the World Cup winner's face.

The former Real Madrid ace uploaded the clip to Twitter, captioning the post: "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.

"I know you'll continue to follow your dreams, young man."
