Arsenal Fan’s Emotional Request to Ben White is a Bit… Confusing
Arsenal’s Ben White is used to getting a warm welcome from the Gunners faithful, but one fan’s emotional plea took an unexpected turn. The 26-year-old defender was asked to sign a shirt by a fan, who broke down in tears, saying "I love you, Ben." Sounds like a touching moment, right? Wrong.
As the fan proudly holds up his shirt, we can’t help but notice that the name and number on the back are those of Bukayo Saka, not Ben White. Talk about a confusing display of affection! Social media is now filled with jokes and memes, poking fun at the situation.
"This guy’s saying he loves Ben, but has Saka on the back of his shirt," tweeted @AFC_Gooner.
"Yeah, because nothing says ‘I love you, Ben’ like wearing Saka’s jersey," quipped @TheArsenalDaily.
Even @BenWhite is getting in on the action, jokingly replying to a fan, "Maybe he wanted me to sign a Saka jersey… or maybe he’s just a clever marketer!"
As Arsenal takes on Liverpool in their next pre-season match, fans will be eagerly anticipating another chance to see Ben White in action. Will he be able to replicate his impressive form so far?
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been pleased with the team’s performance in the US, saying, "The spirit is good, the way the boys are working and applying themselves, that will help them compete and win."
As for Ben White, he’s set to be a crucial player for the Gunners this season. But for this one fan, it seems like his priorities are a bit mixed up. After all, who wouldn’t want a Ben White jersey, right?
