In a cheeky admission, UK rapper Chip said he attempted to persuade Ivan Toney and Jude Bellingham to join Arsenal.

The rapper wrote: “Just tryna get everyone to Arsenal lol🤞🏾🥂🐾” beside a picture of him hanging out with Toney and Bellingham.

A transfer to the Gunners has been strongly suggested for Toney in particular.

Brentford held out for an £80 million fee, and it was generally anticipated that the North London club would make a move for the player in January.

However, many people think that Premier League profit and sustainability regulations prevented Arsenal from making a move for the striker.

Since Arteta is eager to play with a false nine until the end of the season, it has been speculated that Arsenal would have wanted to wait until the summer to make a bid for the forward.

With the Gunners presently leading the league, Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard have alternated playing up front for the team.

It is now thought that Arsenal is more interested in acquiring a central midfielder than a striker.

However, they have been connected to moves for Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen, both of whom are strikers.

But it seems increasingly unlikely that Bellingham will sign with Arsenal.

He is destined to be the star of England at the forthcoming Euros after having an incredible debut season at Real Madrid.

Kylian Mbappe of PSG is also expected to join him in the summer, as Madrid finally appears to be fulfilling their long-term desire in the attacker.

Chip, who frequently attends Gunners games, recently shared a picture of himself with Declan Rice and Havertz on Instagram following the team’s Champions League triumph over Porto.

The picture was captioned “170ms well spent.”

“Yesssssir my guy🤝” was Rice’s reaction for returning the favor.
