An Arsenal fan has kept his promise of naming his child after Gunners star Mesut Ozil.

In March, Arsenal fan Jack Robinson tweeted the German playmaker asking for help in naming his child -- after being granted permission by his wife.

"Wife is expecting in july she said if i can get you to reply i can name the kid Ozil, dont let me down."

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."

Five months later, Mara Ozil Robinson was born with Jack sharing the news with Ozil on Twitter, who was quick to congratukate him and his partner.

He wrote: "Deal completed, worth every second.

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

"Thanks again for an amazing lasting memory."

Ozil then replied: "Wow, can't believe you really did it man.

"Huge congratulations to you and the little family, Jack."
