Players earning £400 a game, goalkeepers unable to use their hands and ex-Premier League superstars rubbing shoulders with social media influencers... welcome to Baller League.

Former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann is one of the ex-professionals signed up as a manager, alongside fellow 'Invincibles' Freddie Ljungberg and Robert Pires when the season kicks off on Monday.

The trio all played a big part in helping the Gunners make history in 2003-04, completing the Premier League season without losing a game.

Baller League was launched by German entrepreneur Felix Starck in his homeland in 2024.
