Love Island Men With Footballers' Profiles Is The Best Thing You’ll Read
Love it or hate it, ITV is getting fans excited for the upcoming fifth series of Love Island.
One of the main talking points has already been that Tyson Fury's younger brother, Tommy, is going to feature on the hit reality dating show.
But hey, before ITV debuts the first episode of Love Island's new season next month, what would the boys' profiles be like if they were footballers?
Well, the Daily Telegraph's Adam Hurrey has created an amazing Twitter thread that has turned the Love Island men into footballers (aside from Joe Garratt -- tough luck, mate).
Grab a brew and check out these profiles below.

Love Island will begin on 3rd June on ITV2, by the way.
"The secret behind Love Island's success is that it's a really simple show about a really complicated subject," says presenter Caroline Flack.
"No love situation is ever the same, no relationship is ever the same, we are all either in love, out of love, falling in love or falling out of it.
"It's relatable and that is the thing that is never going to change."
When Tommy was asked about his claim to fame, the 20-year-old Manchester boxer admitted that the Gypsy King had a part to play in that.
"It's probably my brother, Tyson, but I'm my own man and I've said it throughout my whole boxing career," he explained.
"I don't want to be labelled as his little brother, I'm my own man and I'm doing the best that I can do in life and that's all I'm setting out to achieve."
