Arsenal fans have paid tribute to the late British-Nigerian teenage fan Daniel Anjorin who was murdered by a sword-wielding attacker on Tuesday in London.

In their game against Bournemouth on Saturday, the Gunners paused play in the 14^thminute as fans clapped in honour of the 14-year-old Anjorin whose favourite player was Bukayo Saka.

The scoreboard beamed Daniels image with banners reading R.I.P Daniel displayed in various parts of the Emirates Stadium in honour of the Arsenal fan.

Until his death, he attended Bancrofts private school in Woodford Green “ also attended by Nottingham attack victim Grace OMalley-Kumar.

He was mortally wounded as he left his home to go to school when he was attacked by a man wielding what appeared to be a Samurai-type sword.

Police tasered and arrested the suspect, a 36-year-old man who remains in custody on suspicion of murder. He has not been named and was not previously known to police.

The independent school attended by Anjorin said in a statement Wednesday that they had been left in profound shock and sorrow at the pupils death. (Channels TV)
