But just seconds later, he was left star-struck when the Gunners squad walked past him dressed in full club gear.

Captain Martin Odegaard noticed the kid practising his skills as his team-mates continued to walk on.

But the lad’s day was well and truly made by defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, who challenged him to a nutmeg competition.

The young boy didn’t let the moment get to him, taking on and nutmegging the Ukraine international.

Zinchenko was left gobsmacked, putting his hands on his head as one of his team-mates laughed in the background.

The kid then told the full-back: “I’ve got that on camera.”

An embarrassed Zinchenko took the nutmeg on the chin and gave the lad a hug before getting on his way.

The proud-as-punch kid shared the video on social media, writing: “This was the greatest moment of my life so far, I only hope it gets better from here.”

One remarked: “Fair play to the Gooners, memory for life for the kid.”

And another chimed in: “Looks like one of those movie scenes.”
