Video emerges of Oleksandr Zinchenko's kickabout with young fan in the street, gets embarrassed in front of his Arsenal teammates

A young football fan has gone viral on Tik Tok after he nutmegged Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko on the street.

Premier League footballers live in something of a bubble these days, driving flashy cars, living in luxurious apartments, and rarely venturing out and mingling with the everyday public.

It's easy to forget that they are just normal people - albeit insanely talented ones - although from time to time it is possible to spot them out and about.

That's exactly what happened recently when Arsenal's players were spotted walking around the Liverpool Road area of London, close to the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners - second in the Premier League table after losing to Manchester City on Wednesday - were caught on camera by TikTok creator @pirlo_2.0. As the video below shows, the youngster had set up his phone to film himself practising his kick-ups on the street.

About 20 seconds into the video the Arsenal players walked past the boy on the pavement, with club captain Martin Odegaard in particular taking an interest in his skills. One player can be heard in the background shouting: "sign him!"

Seconds later the boy passed the ball to Ukrainian international Zinchenko, who dribbled at him before allowing him to take the ball back.

To the left-back's surprise, the kid then nutmegged him, prompting laughs from the other players. The TikToker could hardly believe it either, putting his hands on his head before then embracing Zinchenko and exclaiming, "I got that on camera!"

Zinchenko walked off to rejoin his teammates, still in disbelief at what had just happened.

As the youngster admitted in the comments beneath the video, the encounter was one he will surely never forget.

"This moment will stay deep in my heart," he wrote in the video caption. "This moment is one of the best moments in my whole lifetime."
