It looks like leaked images of Arsenal’s new home shirt have been doing the rounds on Twitter.

Arsenal kick off their Premier League season with a trip to Brentford in less than a month.

But the Gunners’ 2021-22 kit is yet to be officially released.

But Footy Headlines have published photographs of the club’s kit launch – and the picture of Bukayo Saka is melting some fans of the North London club.

The 19-year-old winger can be seen with that wide, trademark smile as he poses in between a giant A.

The photoshoot came before Saka’s heartbreak last week when his missed penalty for England handed Euro 2020 glory to Italy, prompting a torrent of online abuse to be directed at the teenager.

Here’s how some Arsenal fans reacted to the picture from the shoot:

Tragic

Images like this do reinforce the tragic element of the abuse that the poor youngster has had to endure over the past five days.

Despite missing in the shootout, Saka still had a brilliant campaign under Gareth Southgate with the Three Lions and what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.

The Arsenal academy gem was his club’s Player of the Year last season, illustrating that he has no problem with responsibility in spite of his youth.

And there’s little doubt that when it comes time to perform for the North Londoners, he will do so again.
