Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil has added another award to his cabinet, a week collecting his winner's medal from the Gunners' FA Cup triumph.

The club's £42.5m record signing was presented with the 2015 German Football Ambassador Award in London this week for his charity work.

Posting on his Instagram, Ozil wrote alongside a picture of him being handed the award: "Thank you all so much for electing me as the German Football Ambassador 2015 - This really motivates me to dedicate even more time to charity projects in the future!"

Ozil began the season as a World Cup winner, after Germany won the tournament in Brazil.

On Germany's World Cup win, Ozil said: "'Not all players can become world champions but we succeeded. That was a beautiful experience for us and we currently have one of the strongest teams in the world."
