One Arsenal youth teamer boasts his own bodyguard - Brooklyn Beckham.

The Daily Star Sunday says the guard, an ex-special forces soldier, dresses like a member of the coaching staff to blend in.

Brooklyn's mum and dad - England legend David and wife Victoria - hired him for their son's regular outings with the north London club's youth team.

A source close to Arsenal revealed: "The bodyguard puts on a Gunners tracksuit and sits on the bench like he is part of the coaching staff.

"Because of how big a star David is, the family decided to take the step to hike up his safety.

"Arsenal were more than happy to do what is necessary to ensure safety for all their young players."
