Arsenal away fans have been singing a new song about young defender William Saliba.
The chant was sung in the away end as the Gunners beat Bournemouth 0-3 on Saturday.
The chant is sung to the tune of 'Tequila' sung by The Champs in the 1950s.

The lyrics are as follows:
"Do do do do do do do do,
"do do do do do do do,
"do do do do do do do do,
"do do do do do do do,
"do do do dooo do,
"do do do dooo do,
"do do do dooo do,
"do do do do do,
"SALIBA!"
The chant was sung by the Arsenal fans all afternoon, at one point for around 20 minutes straight.
They were rewarded by the Frenchman, who scored his first goal for Arsenal.

The ball arriving at his feet after Granit Xhaka's lay-off, Saliba swung a beautiful, curling effort into the top corner.
The defender matched his wonderful goal with the excitement of his celebration, knee-sliding into the corner flag.
Oleksandr Zinchenko's reaction was one that surely replicated a lot of fans at home, falling to his knees and shaking his head in disbelief.

Saliba's goal capped off an excellent display by Arsenal, as they strolled to their third straight Premier League win.
The captain Martin Odegaard opened the scoring, tapping in after Gabriel Martinelli's shot had been saved.
The Norwegian got his second of the afternoon, smashing the ball home after Gabriel Jesus had lined up a strike of his own.
Arsenal will be hoping they can take their form, and the fans, their new chant, into their next game against Fulham next week.
