Arsenal have jokingly told to sign UFC star Conor McGregor, who was sighted visiting the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
The Gunners cruised to an emphatic 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, enhancing their credentials as one of the favorites to win the championship earlier this week.
Kai Havertz opened the score with a courageous header in the 20th minute, and Arsenal doubled their lead just 15 minutes later when Bukayo Saka’s cross evaded several of his teammates and PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Mikel Arteta was satisfied with his team’s performance in such a high-stakes encounter, and McGregor seemed to soak in the atmosphere in north London after the final whistle.
Footage published on social media showed that the Irishman made his way onto the pitch after the majority of spectators had left the stadium for a kickaround with several Arsenal players who had cooled off and changed out of their uniforms.
McGregor was seen passing the ball back and forth with Declan Rice while the England international spoke with friends and family, before the 36-year-old decided to take his impromptu on-pitch trial a step further by attempting to impress Bukayo Saka.
With the goals gone, Saka transferred the ball to McGregor, who rushed into the penalty area. The boxer then took several touches before launching his shot into the stands and applauding while Saka laughed and applauded his footwork.
McGregor first rose to prominence in the UFC because to his great performances and theatrics. He subsequently ventured into the realm of boxing, which proved to be a profitable choice, and his income has grown tremendously since then.
