Sharp Reactions After Bukayo Saka, Heung Min Son Meet Ahead of North London Derby

• The first edition of the 2023/2024 North London Derby is set to go down this weekend
• Both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are yet to taste defeat five games into the season
• Bukayo Saka and Heung-min Son ruffled fans when they met at a fashion event in London

Bukayo Saka and Heung-min Son sent the internet into a meltdown after the two were spotted together ahead of this weekend's North London Derby.

The derby is one of the most revered and fearsome derbies in English football, pitting Arsenal against Tottenham Hotspur in a bid to paint the city 'red' or 'white'.

The two titans will come face to face for the first time this season on September 24 when Spurs make the short trip to the Emirates Stadium. It will be the first time that Ange Postecoglou will be taking part in this derby.

Both sides have made stellar starts to the campaign, dropping points only once in five games.

However, the derby had an intriguing twist when Saka and new Spurs skipper, Son were spotted taking photographs at Burberry SS24 during London Fashion Week.

In the video doing rounds on social media, the two number 7s appeared tense, with minimal discussion going on between them. Draped in unique outfits, the forwards fidgeted uneasily as the photographs were taken.

"Fraternising during the Derby week!?"

@Firefisteric commented:

"NLD on Sunday and this is what your starboy’s doing?"

Spurs will head into the game well-rested, given they do not have midweek assignments.

Meanwhile, Arsenal will play their first UEFA Champions League game in six years when they welcome PSV Eindhoven to the Emirates Stadium.
