Claudio Callegari: Former Arsenal Fan TV star dies aged 58

Tributes have been paid to former Arsenal Fan TV contributor Claude Callegari, who has died aged 58.

Mr Callegari was a popular figure on the AFTV YouTube channel, which has 1.32m subscribers.

But he was removed from the service last summer following a comment about north London rival Tottenham's Son Heung-min.

Former player Kevin Campbell posted on Twitter: "This is such sad news. RIP Claude."

An AFTV statement said: "We are absolutely devastated today to learn of the death of Claude Callegari, one of the channel's most popular contributors.

"Claude was a much loved figure during his time on the channel and through his passion for Arsenal was able to connect with fans from around the globe on a meaningful level.
