The Hull City defender found the Arsenal man’s aggression highly amusing.

Tottenham Hotspur are said to be interested in signing Hull City defender Harry Maguire in the summer.
The London Evening Standard is reporting that Spurs have decided that Maguire is the first-choice target for Spurs at the back, ahead of Michael Keane and Ben Gibson of Burnley and Middlesbrough respectively, with Austrian centre-back Kevin Wimmer set to leave.
The big centre-half has put in some fine performances this season, especially in a back-three. With Spurs utilising that system more often, Maguire is an excellent target for the club.
But there is one other reason why Spurs fans will be pleased to see Maguire linked – he has some history with a veteran Arsenal player.
When Hull faced Arsenal in February things got a little heated. Arsenal forward Theo Walcott decided to pick a fight on not just the giant Tom Huddlestone, but the even vaster Maguire.

It looked like Harry Potter squaring up to Hagrid and left social media in a spin wondering what would have happened if Maguire, the gentle giant he is, had not have simply laughed off the incident.
Tottenham fans would however love to see a repeat, but with the Yorkshireman in Tottenham colours.
