Chicago Bulls' Luol Deng has revealed that he could have taken to football when he was a child.
The 27-year-old British basketball player says that he was "asked to go to England trials" when he was growing up.
"I always said if I didn't focus on basketball, then it would have been football," he told the BBC.
"I was pretty good and was asked to go to England trials. So I would be a professional football player for my beloved Arsenal. Gooners!"
Deng played for Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympics.
