Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil took a trip to Mecca for a pilgrimage ahead of Euro 2016.
The Germany international is set to play a key part in Germany’s bid to win the European championship this summer after Ozil featured heavily in their World Cup-winning campaign in 2014.
Ozil has enjoyed a good season with the north London side on a personal note after having scored six times and making 19 assists in 36 Premier League games.
However, the 27-year-old, who moved to Arsenal from Real Madrid in 2013, was taking care of his faith as the Muslim snapped a photo in Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
Ozil wrote: “#Mecca #HolyCity #SaudiArabia #Islam #Pray”
Arsenal finished in second place in the Premier League table after a 4-0 victory over Aston Villa on the final day of the Premier League season.
