Overly-confident Arsenal fan puts ‘Mahrez 26’ shirt up for sale - Noucamp99 - 18-08-2016

In July, one bold Gooner was so confident that the Gunners would sign Leicester City ace Riyad Mahrez that he got a no.26 Arsenal shirt with the Algerian’s name on the back.
The 25-year-old inspired Leicester City to the title last season but he admitted earlier this week that he’d be tempted to leave the Foxes for ‘two or three clubs’.
Asad Balal, a long-suffering Gooner, was clearly confident that Arsene Wenger would swoop in to bring the Le Havre winger to the Emirates and even claimed to have inside information on the Algerian’s move to north London.
However, Balal was forced into an embarassing backtrack today after Mahrez signed a new four-year deal with the Foxes and he quickly took to Twitter to jokingly put his Arsenal no.26 shirt up for sale before deleting the tweet and saying he’s sending the shirt to a charity shop.
