INTERESTING! OZIL'S JERSEY IS OUTSELLING GARETH BALE'S

Mesut Ozil is sorely missed in Real Madrid. That fact isn't subject to debate. To keep his memory alive in their hearts, fans are rushing to sports shops to buy the available Ozil Real Madrid jersey.

Another person who feels his absence more is C Ronaldo, as regards those wonderful assists and like I wrote earlier, he expressed his disappointment at the German playmaker's exit.

The Arsenal midfielder's jersey is reportedly selling five times as much as world-record signing Gareth Bale's jersey in sports shops.

Simon Pretswell, MD of UKSoccershop.com revealed, "While it would be untrue to say there is not an interest in Bale shirts, our sales data shows he is being significantly outsold by Mesut Ozil."

PHOTO: IS FUNKE AKINDELE LAUNCHING A PERFUME LINE?

Well, I'm not really sure about this. It could be two things anyways; it's either a sample from her perfume line or she purposely engraved Jenifa on her favourite perfume. (But why would anyone do that?) If she has created her perfume line then kudos to the award-winning actress.
