Players from Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal recently visited teenage stroke victim Jac Rush, who had aspirations of becoming a professional footballer himself.
The 17-year-old suffered a stroke two months ago and doctors were forced to remove part of his skull to alleviate pressure on his brain.
Since then, Jac, who is an Arsenal fan and played in the youth side of non-league club AFC Hayes, has been visited by some of the Premier League's top stars.
According to the Daily Star, Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin, Tottenham star Nacer Chadli and former Manchester City manager Peter Reid have visited Jac at Charing Cross hospital.
The youngster has limited speech and is unable to walk freely.
