An Arsenal super fan from America has followed through with his deal with Arsenal star Mesut Ozil and named his daughter after the German.

Earlier this year, Jack Robinson tweeted the long-time Arsenal outcast for advice on what to call his baby daughter.

He asked the World Cup winner if he could name her after him.

Ozil replied: “It's a deal mate I don't let you down.”

“Now it's your turn. I want to see the birth certificate of your kid in July.”

Incredibly, more than five months later Robinson replied and proved he had followed through with the deal.

“Deal completed, worth every second,” he wrote to Ozil.

“Mara Özil Robinson, nickname and #MÖ. Mom and baby girl doing great.

“Thanks again for an amazing lasting memory.”

In his tweet, Robinson had wrapped his baby daughter, born in St Louis, in an Ozil jersey and a red bow (Arsenal colours) and showed the Arsenal star the birth certificate.

Ozil congratulated the couple on the news, but also seemed surprise.

“Wow, can’t believe you really did it man.

“Huge congratulations to you and the little family, Jack.”

Ozil has copped plenty of criticism from fans during his time at the Emirates.

But his kind gesture to a diehard fan had Gooners full of praise for the former Real Madrid star.
