Rex Secco was trending on Twitter on Sunday evening after reports circulated that Arsenal had spent a whopping £34 million on the youngster.
But the player does not even exist in reality and we have no idea how such a hoax came out.
As the only club in Europe’s top 5 leagues to not sign an outfield player this summer, Arsenal fans have perhaps decided to create their own star signing.
Arsenal fans again proved that they are the best fans on Twitter and made a whole new player. A weekend without Premier League football did not seem to be boring for the Gunners.
It actually appears that all the football “banter” accounts were behind the fake story.
We’ve collected some of the best tweets on Rex Secco below.
Many opposition fans took it as an opportunity to mock the Gunners for spending so much on a seemingly unknown player.
And these trolls were made to look rather silly as the claims turned out to be totally false.
Here are some of the best tweets-

No idea who this Rex Secco guy is but if we’re paying £34m for a 16 year old he better be bagging at least 20 a season.
