Atletico Madrid star Griezmann, who has once again been linked with a move to the Premier League, sat in the second row beside Monreal and Bellerin, who was also spotted talking to team-mate Sead Kolasinac and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Draxler, who the Gunners are also said to be interested in. Arsenal stars Olivier Giroud, Shkodran Mustafi and Rob Holding were also there.

The biggest name of them all, however, was legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who seemed to be enjoying the occasion.
