Lucky gunners manage to bag themselves signed football memorabilia

Footy fans descended on North London in the hunt for bespoke film posters of Arsenal and England star Bukayo Saka.

Seven autographed illustrations of the forward have been hidden around the Emirates and surrounding area – with fans of the Gunners searching high and low for the artwork.

Supporters were put on red alert when the club posted cryptic messages which alluded that something was coming while football enthusiasts hinted at the whereabouts of the sought-after artwork.

A rare find

The first poster was snagged just after 10am – shortly after its whereabouts were revealed to hundreds of thousands of supporters by some of Arsenal’s biggest fans including Frimpon, Nicole Holliday and Chris MD.

And it didn't take supporters long to find the remaining piece of art adorned by Bukayo Saka, who has been an ever-present this season as Arsenal challenge for their first title since 2004.

Emad and Marianne Nasserian, the lucky Gunners fans who managed to bag one, added the poster to their football memorabilia collection, which has been gathered from 22 countries.

He said: "Arsenal is my favourite team - so it is great to add this to my collection. We have a room at home for football things from many clubs and this will be going on the wall."
