Arsenal's players have been branded 'entitled, overpaid and rude' after the club shared footage of them 'ignoring' a young mascot as they signed her shirt before their 2-2 draw to West Ham on Sunday - as the child's father leapt to their defence.
The video shows manager Mikel Arteta and his players filing past eight-year-old Olivia Murray and writing on the replica top, but apparently failing to acknowledge the youngster as she gazed at them in admiration.
One of the stars was Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, picked out by Olivia as her favourite player in the matchday programme, who approached her with his earphones in before briskly signing the shirt and walking away.
