      The beverage has cost as high as £25 at other outlets.
      With Arsenal enjoying such an outstanding season, Nelson will be keen to get more involved before the end of the campaign.
      He has made only two Premier League appearances so far but will be keen to emulate the important status of Arsenal’s other academy graduates Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah.
      Meanwhile, KSI is finding his own sporting career going from strength to strength.
      The YouTube star registered another crossover boxing victory over FaZe Temperrr earlier this month. More

      Arsenal Invincibles star unrecognisable as he spars in boxing ring with 18-cap international CEO of his own business

      by

      AN ARSENAL Invincibles star looks completely different as he’s swapped the pitch to become CEO of a business.The ex-defender made more than 250 appearances in English football with more than 50 of those coming for the Gunners.

      He played 68 timed for the GunnersCredit: @Instagram
      He was part of the famous team that went unbeaten in 2003-04 having come through the academy in N7.
      And he played alongside the likes of Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires, Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry.
      The bulk of his game-time in an Arsenal shirt came in his final couple of years in North London before he eventually left in search of more regular opportunities.
      The Leytonstone-born ace also won 18 caps for his country.

      And the mystery footballer is of course… Justin Hoyte.
      Hoyte played 68 games in total for his boyhood club, although only one of those came during the Invincibles campaign.

      And even that was a late substitute at Birmingham.
      But the right-back did win the FA Youth Cup with the Gunners and started the 2007 League Cup final defeat to Chelsea.

      Hoyte left Arsenal in 2018 to sign for Middlesbrough and also played for Millwall and Dagenham & Rebridge before retiring in 2018 following a spell in the US with FC Cincinnati.
      He was eligible to play for England as well as for Trinidad and Tobago, and was capped 18 times for the England under-21 team.
      But in 2013, Hoyte made himself available for selection for the Trinidad and Tobago national team, and ended up winning 18 caps for the Soca Warriors.
      Since retiring he moved away from football and is the CEO of his own business that he started last year.
      The company is called Future Champions Sports Group Limited with the 38-year-old the only active director.
      And in the video Hoyte posted to Instagram last year of himself sparring, he looks different having bulked up from his playing days.
      He looked fit as a fiddle as he was put through his paces by his trainer, proving that he might have hung up his boots some five years ago, but he’s still in great shape.

      Winger Leandro Trossard joined Arsenal in a £27million deal from Brighton and made his debut during the 3-2 win over Manchester United on Sunday evening.
      Mikel Arteta’s team then confirmed that they had bought Poland international defender Jakub Kiwior from Spezia for £21m last night.

      Now transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Arsenal are plotting a swoop on Brighton again.
      However, they face stiff competition from Premier League rivals Chelsea and Liverpool for Ecuadorian midfield star Caicedo, who has recently employed a new agent.

      Romano tweeted: “Official. Moises Caicedo has picked Futbol Division as new agents — it’s now confirmed by agency statement.
      “One to watch in the final days of Jan window — Brighton want to keep him but Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are well informed on Moises situation.”
      The 21-year-old Ecuadorian has taken the Premier League by storm since stepping into the Brighton set-up initially under now-Chelsea boss Graham Potter.
      Under current manager Roberto De Zerbi, who is desperate to keep the ace, Caicedo’s development has continued at a rapid pace, with Brighton continuing to march up the table.

      Brighton have become serial recruiters of top talent which is then flipped for a huge profit margin, as evidenced by sales such as Marc Cucurella, Ben White and most recently Trossard.
      Trossard arrived at the Amex Stadium in 2019 for £18m, but is now an Arsenal player having been sold for £27m.
      The respective fees they got for Cucurella and White saw Brighton receive more money than what it cost them to build their stadium.
      And Caicedo is set to be the next name on that list of profitable acquisitions by the club after he cost them just £5m. More

      The ex-England defender initially had a dig at celebrity Arsenal fan Piers Morgan, who claimed Thomas Partey would dominate the “snowflakes” in United’s midfield.
      But Ferdinand then had no problem in agreeing Arsenal could be on course for their first Prem title since 2004.
      He told Gunners fan Joel Beya on his Five Youtube channel: “You lot played like champions.
      “I was sitting there watching it with my two sons.

      The England international, 24, is being heavily linked with a move to Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United in the summer.
      But he is expected to remain the No41 wherever he ends up at the end of the season.
      Last year, in an interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap, he said: “It was just the number I was given in the academy by the kitman.
      “When you are in the Under-23s there are the first team squad numbers and then it gets to the higher numbers and I was given 41 when I went to Seattle on my first trip with the first-team. I was just given 41 and it has stayed with me since.

      “And to be honest with you – I have been having these conversations with my dad – regardless of what happens in my career I may stay with 41.
      “I just think Rice 41 has a nice ring to it and obviously I have grown up playing in it and I am a bit superstitious with things like that.
      “I don’t know if I change to a new number if it will hamper my performances, I don’t know!
      “Sometimes I think about things like that.”

      When quizzed on whether the No7 would suit him, he then added: “Seven dog? Nah, not seven dog, no way.
      “Either four or six, I think those are the standard numbers.”
      Rice has been valued at £80m, with Arsenal hoping to fend off interest from Chelsea and Man Utd.
      He hinted during the World Cup that his time at West Ham could be up.
      When asked if he is hungry to win titles at club level, he said: “Yeah, 100 per cent. For the last two or three years I’ve been saying that.
      “I’ve been consistently playing well for my club. I want to win trophies for my club.
      “You only get one career and you want to look back at what you’ve won and play in the biggest games.
      “I am really ambitious and I want that.” More
