The wager was laid down on June 30 and sure enough, just five days later, Lacazette became Arsenal's record signing when he complete a £52million move to the Emirates.
The fan in question duly accepted his fate, booking in for a tattoo at his local parlour in Hull.

As the fan himself admitted, the resulting portrait certainly does have the air of a certain former Tottenham striker, who will now by peaking out from over his waist band forever more.
Well worth all the hassle.
