​Chelsea target Rudiger left red-faced after confession of Arsenal support resurfaces

Antonio Rudiger may be on his way to Chelsea, but there is one club who has always had his heart.

German news publication BILD has dug up an interview with Rudiger back in 2014 where the Roma defender revealed his love for Chelsea's rival, Arsenal.

"I have been following Arsenal since the days of Henry and Bergkamp," he said.

"I have always dreamed of the Premier League.

"I watch videos of Arsenal all the time on YouTube and I often wear the current Alexis Sanchez shirt.

"My heart beats for Arsenal."

Rudiger will most likely realise his dream of playing in the Premier League, but he won't be wearing red.
