Arsenal are by far the best team in the world right now.
Inspite of a mishap at home against Manchester United, last Sunday, which saw them lose 3-2, drawing their first home loss this season, they are somehow on the top of the table, 4 points ahead of their usual nemesis, Manchester City.
Infact, the most commanding defense in the league belongs to the Emirates family, with just 17 goals conceded more than halfway through the season.
Even in Champions League, Arsenal have been the sole outlier of the pot, winning all their 8 group stage games and securing the top spot.
In their last league game against Kairat Almaty, with the top spot in target, Arsenal survived a late scare, by winning 3-2, thanks to the services of injury-return Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokores, who contributed a goal and an assist, each.
Little did that make them the standout performers, as there was already one in the stands.
After the game, an Arsenal fan had spotted a guy wearing a customised Arsenal jacket, with the club legend Thierry Henry’s name on it.
Soon after, the same guy was seen wearing a jacket with Arsenal’s present golden boy Bukayo Saka on it.
The jacket was so well stitched that it was inside out worn with two different people’s name embedded.

It was found out to be a man named Byron Drysdale, who is an ardent Arsenal fan.
Lyez Bousidi, a reporter and commentator from B/R Football, had taken the effort to Thierry Henry who was amazed by the work of Byron.
Hey, this is me! I appreciate all the love so much and Henry also likes the jacket ❤️ https://t.co/yAaKBOPu5W pic.twitter.com/g84rCWhFzE

The jacket had not just featured Henry and Saka, but also former Arsenal legendary midfielder, Mesut Ozil and current Gunners captain, Martin Odegaard.
The jacket was completely self stitched by Byron, made out of leather.
He had spent $2000 for designing the jacket as reported by Bousidi.
Thierry henry complimented the jacket and jokingly commented that Byron has to make one for the other guy on his Cover photo on his X account, Dennis Bergkamp.
Byron Drysdale is a fashion designer and regularly updates his work self modelling his designs.
Safe to say all eyes were on him during his visit to Emirates on Wednesday.
Its pretty interesting how a club fandom can make you drive passion into your profession.
A fashion designer drawing inspiration from his club is a cool fan story and Arsenal are really lucky to have one such.
