Jay-Z has been offered VIP tickets to any Arsenal game of his choice after he confessed to being a Gunner.

The hip-hop megastar has even offered to return the favour and give Arsenal players backstage access to his next show in England.

The Jigga Man, who announced his support for Arsenal in The Sun, said: "I'd like to thank the club for their kind offer.

"I will be in contact... and you can let Arsenal know what game I can make."

Asked who his current favourite player is, the rapper said it was Arsenal's captain Cesc Fabregas and added: "It would be good to chat with Cesc and some of the other guys over lunch."

Despite meeting Chelsea players at his Alexandra Palace show last November, Jay-Z insisted Arsenal are the only team for him.

“They were cool guys but it's all about Arsenal for me," he explained.

Jay-Z continued to the newspaper: "I want (the Arsenal team) to party in New York, my city. I will look after them and make sure that they have some amazing nights out.

"The next time I'm playing in England I would like the Arsenal players to come and watch my gig and then come backstage afterwards.

"I know how hard professional sportsmen work so I want to offer an incentive for the guys."
