In a humanitarian gesture, Ozil is paying a salary

German Mesut Ozil, the playmaker of Arsenal Football Club, offered to pay the employee the “green dinosaur”, which carries the club’s mascot, for his survival after Arsenal’s decision to fire him.

Ozil confirmed today, Tuesday, that he will take over the salary of the “mascot man” as long as he continues as a player at the London club.

Ozil said through his account on “Twitter”: “I was very saddened when I heard that our loyal and famous mascot Jerry Coy, who is an important part of the club, will stop operating after 27 years.”

He added: “For this reason, I offer to guarantee the full salary of our great green dinosaur, while he is a player for Arsenal, so that Jerry can continue doing his job, which he loves so much.”

Ozil, whose contract runs with Arsenal until 2021, earns around £ 350,000 a week, but has not participated in the Gunners’ starting lineup since last season, following his multiple problems with the club’s management and his demotion. .

Arsenal decided to ditch Jerry Coy, who had a role in communicating with fans inside and outside the team’s stadium when he wore the “green dinosaur” charm, to cut expenses due to the impact of the emerging corona virus pandemic.
