Forward turns Rio Ferdinand’s kids into Arsenal fans

Sons of former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand may become Arsenal fans just because of Alexis Sanchez.

The Arsenal forward has been in form for the Gunners and was on song in their 3-0 home win against Manchester United on Sunday, October 4.

Sanchez scored a brace in the win and it seems his performance on that day have persuaded sons of Rio Ferdinand to ditch their father’s team and start supporting Arsenal.
