ARSENAL midfielder Joe Willock didn’t take kindly to David Luiz’s amusing prank on the team bus as he whacked his phone after being woken up by the Brazilian defender.
The former Chelsea centre-back filmed himself waking up sleeping members of the Gunners squad by squeezing their noses, with most left confused.

Eddie Nketiah, Bukayo Saka, Nicolas Pepe and Rob Holding all fell victim to the lurking Luiz, but none took it as serious as Willock.
Immediately after his snooze was interrupted, the England youth international gave Luiz a little whack, with the ex-Paris Saint-Germain ace taking to Instagram to claim he broke his phone.
Replying to the clip Luiz posted on social media, Willock joked: “Sleep with one eye open David.”
With the eccentric centre-half then stating: “If u (sic) touch me, the war will be big hahaha.”
Those that weren’t involved in the prank were left in hysterics, with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Gabriel Martinelli all replying with emojis.
Even Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham was amused as he commented with three laughing face emojis on the video.

The Gunners are currently in Dubai for their warm-weather training camp as they make the most of their winter break ahead of Sunday’s clash against Newcastle.
Luiz will be looking to retain his place in the starting XI after helping to keep a clean sheet on his return to the line-up for the 0-0 draw against Burnley.
And he could be partnered by Spanish centre-back Pablo Mari, with Mikel Arteta hinting the January signing could feature against the Magpies.
