According to football correspondent James Olley, the Bajan beauty was said to be "causing a bit of a stir in the tunnel area" and spent time in the players' lounge near the dressing rooms.

Rihanna needs to upload a video twerking in an Arsenal top. I’m not saying I’ll watch it. I’m just writing this tweet.

Meanwhile, Rihanna was recent at the centre of controversy after allegedly not being allowed into the country of Senegal over her rumoured connection with the Illuminati.
The R&B singer, who is an ambassador for the Global Partnership for Education, recently tweeted Theresa May asking her to prioritise education for young girls.
