A man has pleaded guilty to attempting to rob Arsenal duo Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac.
Ashley Smith has admitted trying to steal watches from the Gunners stars in July. He will be sentenced on November 1.
Kolasinac and Ozil were targeted by knife-wielding moped thugs over the summer and each missed the start of the Premier League season due to the incident.
Restaurant owner Yasmin Tahsimer revealed: “He called me while they were being chased and said ‘come out, call the police please’.
"When they were chasing Ozil’s car they were throwing big bricks at it and using a Long metal pole. They damaged the car. The wives were inside and were frightened and scared.
"We didn’t at first of all understand what was happening, then we saw the motorbike passing and realised it was serious.
"They has been chased for about 5 or 10mins around Golders Green and Hampstead. It was frightening. They were throwing bricks at the car and had. A big metal pole.
"It happened outside Sead’s house. He tried to defend himself. It was scary.
"Incredibly, despite what the players went through, Yasmin said they were very calm explaining: They weren’t shaken. They were fine. Sead is a hero."
