Osama bin Laden is an Arsenal fan

The world's most wanted man is an Arsenal fan.

Osama bin Laden began following the London club when he lived there in the early 1990s.

The revelations are made in a new book called Bin Laden: Behind the Mask of Terror.

The book claims the al-Qaida leader got into football while living in his native Saudi Arabia.

Author Adam Robinson says he regularly went to Arsenal matches - and even watched them get to the final of the 1994 European Cup Winners' Cup final.

The book says bin Laden even bought a replica strip.

"He would do well at Arsenal," one football fan told Sky News. "He goes to ground quickly enough."
