THAT'S A RAP

ARSENAL fans have been left majorly underwhelmed after a supposed “announcement video” being filmed at the Emirates turned out to be nothing of the sort.

Gunners supporters continue to wait anxiously on both the arrival of £27million defender Gabriel Magalhaes and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s contract extension.

But they thought the wait was finally over when a fan sparked huge excitement during a stadium tour.

He filmed an unknown figure standing in front of a camera on the Emirates pitch while wearing the new Arsenal away shirt.

Uploading the footage to Reddit, he captioned it: “I’m on a stadium tour and they’re filming Aubameyang in the new away kit.

“New contract incoming.”

But after a string of detective work on Twitter, fans finally realised the man was, in fact, a rapper called Yizzy filming a music video.

Yizzy later confirmed their disappointment with a selfie on Instagram of himself inside the Emirates.

He then took to Twitter to joke: “If you wanna know whether Aubameyang has signed or not. Go pre-order my song Thierry Henry.”

Fans couldn’t hide their disappointment with one writing: “I can’t believe you’ve done this.”

A third said: “Yizzy chose the worst possible time.”

However, some fans were delighted with the video, one writing the song was “cold” while another added that the whole stunt was “hilarious”
