Kim Kardashian watches Arsenal lose Europa League match to Sporting Lisbon
The biggest influencer of all, Kim Kardashian was present at Arsenal’s Europa League loss to Sporting Lisbon.
A global superstar thanks to her hit show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kardashian continues Arsenal’s rise in the social media world.
The 42-year-old posted a picture of pre-match game programs and several bottles of Prime to her 348 million Instagram followers, captioning “send help.”
And Logan Paul, co-founder of the energy drink that sponsors the Premier League side, noted the post and joked on Twitter: “We did it.”
However, news of Kardashian’s apparent fidelity will come as a shock to Italian giants Roma, who recently saw a 2,400 percent surge in Google search traffic after Kardashian was spotted in one of their retro kits.
In January, Kardashian’s son Saint West was spotted wearing an Arsenal third shirt for his birthday, which comes as no surprise as the Premier League leaders are attracting plenty of new fans.
His mother and global celebrity is reportedly in the Emirates filming part of a new documentary about her life.
