Mesut Ozil
has made the generous gesture of using his World Cup winnings to pay
for 23 sick children to have surgery as a 'personal thank you for the
hospitality of the people of Brazil'.
The
Arsenal midfielder originally paid for 11 before the tournament in
Brazil started, but decided to up the tally to 23 in reference to the
number of players that formed winners Germany's squad.
Ozil said: 'Prior
to the World Cup, I supported the surgery of 11 sick children. Since
the victory in the World Cup is not only due to 11 players but to our
whole team, I will now raise the number to 23
