Arsenal academy director Per Mertesacker has added a hilarious anecdote to his LinkedIn bio.
The German centre-back joined the Gunners in 2011 and played for them for seven years before hanging up his boots.
Since then, he has been a part of the backroom staff, occupying various roles before landing the job as manager of their academy side.
But that has not stopped him from creating a LinkedIn profile in which he reveals a brilliant anecdote about fining Spanish defender Monreal for wearing a poncho.
His bio about being with the North London outfit reads: “Current first team defender for Premier League club Arsenal FC.
“Known for committed style and sense of gamesmanship.”
He continues: “Have developed excellent leadership skills as senior figure at club.
“Chosen by the manager to be responsible for enforcing club’s strict penalties on player behaviour (for example, fining players for inappropriate dress or improper language. Once fined Nacho Monreal £10k for wearing a poncho on match day).”
