‘Wild Child’ McGregor Exonerated
However, the Irish fighter then unexpectedly punched and kicked the Arsenal star.
Many Gunners fans were outraged when McGregor threw a powerful kick that forced Saka to block with his hands. The Irishman then even tried to wrestle Saka to the ground. This move by McGregor angered Arsenal. They believed that McGregor’s behavior could have injured Saka.
According to the Guardian , the Emirates Stadium management will tighten the rules on players interacting with the audience after the match. Arsenal wants to avoid a repeat of McGregor’s behavior with Saka.
However, Saka’s message suggests that the Arsenal star had no serious issues with joking with McGregor. However, Arsenal’s board will still have stricter control over spectators entering the pitch or approaching players, including celebrities who are considered VIP guests like McGregor.
Saka is considered the Gunners’ most important asset at the moment. Transfermarkt values this star at 150 million euros.
