An Arsenal fan with an Alexandre Lacazette tattoo on his bum finally got to meet his hero after months of waiting, it has emerged.

Sam Leach tweeted in July that he’d get inked in tribute to the striker should he sign for his beloved Gunners, which of course he did.

I was debating whether to go through with it but I always stick to my word so I decided to

Word filtered through to Lacazette himself, who immediately made it known he’d like to meet the fan in question.

It has taken time to materialise, with Leach perhaps left wondering if it would ever happen at all.
