Arsenal mascot? RiRi’s Gunner be great

MEET Arsenal’s new mascot, Rihanna — at least, they wish. RiRi was hailed as the team’s ‘lucky charm’ after watching the north London side romp to victory during the weekend.

The Needed Me singer was rooting for the Gunners as they thrashed Everton 5-1 at London’s Emirates Stadium.

Players even scored some selfies with the 29-year-old after treating her to a VIP tour of the ground on Saturday.

‘She knows which football team to support… #luckycharm,’ gushed midfielder Mesut Özil, also 29.

Left-back Sead Kolašinac, 24, added: ‘Great team effort and important win. Thanks for your support Rihanna!’
