Our men’s and women’s players were out in force in Islington last week ahead of Arsenal in the Community’s 40th anniversary in 2025.
Members of our Arsenal in the Community programmes were surprised by players, including Jurrien Timber, Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling as well as Lotte Wubben-Moy and Kyra Cooney-Cross, who visited The Hub. They spent time with the participants, sharing stories, answering questions and playing football together. William Saliba and Neto went back to the classroom, visiting children at a local primary school.
Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Jakub Kiwior, Kieran Tierney, Mikel Merino and David Raya greeted young patients in hospital, as did Alessia Russo, Emily Fox and Katie McCabe.
