Mesut Ozil reveals how Okocha inspired his Career

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil said he drew
inspiration from former Nigeria international Austine Okocha while
growing up.

Ozil made this known during a question and answer
session with his fans on social media on Monday night.

Okocha was one of the best playmaker in the German
Bundesliga during his time with Eintracht Frankfurt and one of the
highlights of his time in the league was when he scored a fabulous
goal against Karlsruher SC.

Okocha dribbled past several defenders in the penalty
box, before slotting the ball past goalkeeper Oliver Kahn in
goal.

The goal was later voted goal of the season by many
football magazines and other football platforms in the Germany.

The former Nigerian Captain later left Frankfurt to
team up with Ozil’s favorite club in Turkey, Fenerbahce in a
£1million deal.

When asked about the name and number on his first
football shirt as a kid, Ozil simply wrote :

Number 10 ” “Jay Jay Okocha”

The world cup winner also disclosed he’s willing to
follow Okocha footsteps and play for Fenerbahce before he retire
from the game.
