Arsenal star Hector Bellerin has weighed in on the political debate as people go to the polls ahead of today's election.
The full back, who boasts a 1.8 million following on Twitter, implored people to have their say as poll stations opened this morning with Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn vying to lead the country.
In what is being described as the biggest election in recent history, Bellerin, who joined Arsenal from Barcelona as a youngster, shared his views on current Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who took over from Theresa May earlier this year.
'Young people across the world have a chance to change what the future can be,' he told his followers. 'Today's the chance for all the British people to influence what your future & those living here holds.'
He ended the tweet with the hashtags: 'F***Boris' and 'GoVote'.
Johnson is hoping to win a majority that will allow him to pass his Brexit deal through Parliament, which is currently stuck in a deadlock. The Prime Minister wants to 'Get Brexit Done' and allow the country to move forward.
Bellerin's tweet is likely to have gone down well with Labour supporters, with the party's leader, Jeremy Corbyn, being an avid Arsenal fan.
The 70-year-old, who is the MP for Islington, is a friend of Bellerin's, having met the Arsenal star at an event in 2017.
The pair speak Spanish and struck up a good bond, Daily Mail columnist Piers Morgan said the pair excluded him from a conversation at the event as they spoke Spanish.
'Later, fellow Arsenal fan Jeremy Corbyn came over to speak to him,' Morgan said. 'When I tried to interrupt, the Labour leader – whose wife is Mexican – promptly switched to fluent Spanish to shut me out of the conversation.'

People without degrees in poli sci who publicly voice their political opinions tell another man without a degree in poli sci he's not allowed to voice his political opinions. the hypocrisy is unreal and ridiculous. bellerin is allowed to voice his political opinions just as much as you are. maybe you're mad because he has a bigger platform to voice them on than you do?
