Shakira confirms shock support for EPL giants Arsenal & snubs Barca

SHAKIRA has taken another brazen swipe at her ex Gerard Pique by showing her support for a Premier League giant on social media after footie fans remixed her Waka Waka hit.

The Colombian pop star took to Instagram to send her encouragement to Arsenal F.C. during a heated match against Bournemouth.

Fans of Arsenal adapted the singer's trilingual bop Waka Waka, featuring Freshlyground, which served as the official Fifa song for the 2010 World Cup.

Footie fans remixed the hot hit to craft a new chant for the team's latest signing, Kai Havertz, a former Chelsea forward.

The chant swept through the Vitality Stadium during Arsenal's epic 4-0 triumph over Bournemouth, earning Shakira's endorsement.

The 46-year-old took to Instagram to share a video on her story of the cheering and chanting fans while captioning the post "Go Arsenal!" - an apparent dig at her football star ex, Gerard Pique.

Based on the tune and lyrics to Waka Waka, the Havertz chant goes: "Tsamina mina, eh eh, Waka Waka, eh, eh, sixty million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again".

It is yet to be seen whether the chant will stick around throughout the season, but it may become a regular feature at games.

In another display of interest in the football club, Shakira visited the Emirate Stadium for a fixture between Arsenal and Manchester United last month.

The Gunners, under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, faced off against the Red Devils in what was their fourth Premier League game for the season.

The tense game saw Alejandro Garnacho score a goal that was later disallowed, and Gabriel Jesus eventually sealed the deal for the Gunners with a goal in injury time at 90 + 11 minutes.
