Stunned Arsenal fans say ‘can it play up front?’ as club...

ARSENAL fans have been left scratching their heads after the club listed a hand-painted 24ct gold leaf vase on their website for a whopping £550. The Gunners have launched a new collection on their online store selling fine china for hefty price tags.

Arsenal have partnered with local North London artist and lifelong fan Nick Dynan, also known as Me Old China, to create a number of limited edition homeware products. The hand painted collection includes stunning mugs, plates and vases that have a price that matches their quality.

A mug will set fans back £40, while a plates range between £55 and £75. But it's the two vases on offer that will empty your wallet the fastest, with prices for the limited release of vases costing between £385 and £550. As outrageous as the prices are, it didn't stop Arsenal fans from snapping it all up.

The entire collection, which was limited to just 100 pieces, was sold out around an hour after Arsenal announced it was on sale. Arsenal fans were quick to tease their club on social media for the unusual merch, suggesting that changing things on the pitch should be taking priority.

One fan poked fun at Arsenal's injury crisis, writing: "Can the pot play striker?". CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS. While another added: "Season has been ruined and you’re trying to sell me a handmade vase.". A third wrote: "Fans - Sign a striker. Arsenal - How about some lovely pottery?".

And a fourth posted: "Read the room". One wishful fan even thought about investing in the vases to help fund some summer business, writing: "How many of these would buy Alexander Isak?". Arsenal have had a hard week that has seen them slip 13 points behind league leaders Liverpool.

The Gunners are without any of their first choice attackers due to injuries to Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus. And their lack of attacking threat has seen them go two consecutive Premier League games without scoring for the first time since May 2023.

Arsenal's crumble now means they sit closer to 10th placed Aston Villa (12 points ahead) than they do to Liverpool. They take on PSV Eindhoven in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday, after sitting out the weekend's action following their elimination from the FA Cup to Man Utd in January.
