Fans react as Arsenal players show off their style at London Fashion Week
As Calafiori and Declan Rice flaunted their style, a fan commented that the former is making the best use of his time in recovery. After recently opening an Instagram account to post ‘every picture’ he’s taken, Rice’s new venture into fashion made a fan comment that he’s the most ‘versatile’ footballer at the club. A fan laughed at how Calafiori left Italy solely to spread the gospel of fashion in the country.
Rival fans made use of the opportunity to make fun of the players, with one fan stating that they should stick to fashion and not bother playing for club or country. The timing of their partnership made a few even doubt if the injury and red card were intentional.
Arsenal play their next game against Atalanta in the Champions League on Thursday night before playing their most difficult game of the season yet – away to Manchester City. Mikel Arteta recently orchestrated a 1-0 win over local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, as the Spaniard became the first manager in Arsenal’s history to win three consecutive away games against Spurs.
