Piers Morgan has tried to tempt Erling Haaland into a move to Arsenal – by offering to sort out his wardrobe.
Borussia Dortmund face a fight to keep hold of Haaland in the summer transfer window, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Man City and Real Madrid all believed to be keen.
But the striker is unlikely to move to the Gunners, unless he is swayed by Morgan's promise to give him a sartorial overhaul.
The celebrity Arsenal fan reached out after the 20-year-old shared a snap of his latest flamboyant outfit while on holiday in Greece – where he was pictured parting with City winger Riyad Mahrez earlier this week.
With his country Norway having missed out on qualification for the Euro 2020 finals, Haaland is lapping up some sun on the island of Mykonos.
And the centre-forward took to Twitter to post a picture of himself soaking up the rays in a garish, open-necked shirt with matching trousers, which we wore along with sunglasses and sliders.
Morgan retweeted Haaland's post along with two laughing emojis and the message: "Come to Arsenal, Erling, and I’ll sort your fashion out."
But the TV host's followers weren't convinced he could deliver on that promise, with several posting pictures of Morgan wearing bright blue shorts as he played a round at Wentworth Golf Club.
One was captioned, "Not sure about that one chief," while another said "your golf attire was terrible at wentworth".

But some agreed with Morgan about Haaland's outfit, with one follower posting: "Geez the dudes wearing my grandma's window curtains."
Haaland was pictured partying with Mahrez on Monday – sending the transfer rumour mill into overdrive.
The City winger joked he was attempting to recruit the striker, retweeting a video of the two of them with the caption: “Agent Mahrez on duty.”
