Photo: Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil in Mecca for Pilgrimage

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil made the pilgrimage to Mecca as he explored his faith ahead of Euro 2016. 

Ozil is set to play a key part in Germany’s bid to win the European championship this summer after their World Cup-winning campaign in 2014. 

The 27-year-old has enjoyed a good season with the gunners on a personal note after having scored six times and making 19 assists in 36 Premier League games. 

However, Ozil, was taking care of his faith as the Muslim snapped a photo in Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
