Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby may face the wrath of Gunners fans after bizarrely admitting he occasionally wears the shirt of local rivals Tottenham Hotspur around the house.
The shirt was given to him by Spurs defender and fellow Frenchman Younes Kaboul and Diaby admits he would be unwise to wear it on the street given the obvious rivalry.
He told The Sun: "It is more difficult to wear it in the street - there you are not safe."
Diaby spoke of his friendship with Kaboul and said he would love to play alongside his friend at club level one day.
"It would be good to play for the same club one day," he said.
The two players both featured for France in a 1-0 win over Poland on Thursday night as they ended their season on a high, continuing the recent revival under Laurent Blanc.
