NEYMAR AND KAYNE WEST LINK-UP IN PARIS
Days after posing next to Young Stoner Life Records artist Gunna, Neymar dropped yet another football x music link-up this week, standing alongside Kanye West as the Donda rapper passed through the city for Paris Fashion Week.
West, who now goes by ‘Ye’, has been rumoured to be planning a collaboration with the Jordan brand despite ties to adidas and his visit to Paris Saint-Germain, who are heavily involved with team Jordan, has only increased speculation.

Both Neymar and Ye have been subject to their own Netflix documentaries this year, with the life of the Brazilian baller being shown in ‘The Perfect Chaos’ whilst Ye’s transformation from a beats maker to rapper is shown in ‘Jeen-Yuhs’ which begins streaming later this month.
Now an iconic figure in both music and fashion, a collaboration between Yeezy and football is something we need to see from the 44-year-old, whatever club he takes his talent to. Manchester United, Arsenal and Real Madrid are just some of the global adidas sponsored clubs with the potential to rival PSG’s link-up with Jordan and Inter’s recent partnership with luxury brand Moncler.
One thing is for sure, every brand who hasn’t spotted the potential that football holds within the fashion world will be kicking themselves heavily in the years to come.
Moise Kean was the first player to bring the Griddy into the game earlier this year and now the Italian has carried it into the new season after bagging a brace against Barcelona in Juventus’ pre-season tour of the US.
The 22-year-old has always delivered when it comes to celebrations and it seems this season will be no different.

Kean, who returned to Juventus on a two-year loan from Everton, was rumoured to be leaving Italy this summer but has flourished in pre-season for the Bianconeri so far.
The former Paris Saint-Germain striker attended Paris Fashion Week last month alongside Eduardo Camavinga and Marcus Thuram, walking for KidSuper and linking up with Lil Durk and Kodak Black at Rhude’s PFW show.

Still only 22, Kean still has plenty of time to fulfil his potential after reigniting his career in Serie A and Ligue 1 after a disappointing spell in the Premier League with Everton. Whilst form on the pitch can be hard for young players to find at times, Kean has never dropped off when it comes to his performance off the pitch.

West Ham midfielder Declan Rice believes Chelsea’s Mason Mount is the best-dressed player in the game, he recently revealed.
Rice, who has a long-standing friendship with Mount dating back to their time together at the Blues, backed his fellow England international when it comes to style off the pitch.

Speaking to GQ, Rice said: “In my opinion, the best-dressed footballer is my best friend, Mason Mount.”
“He used to go for the skinny look, but now he’s become cool [and] all stylish and he’s number one for me,” the 23-year-old added.
Rice, who is held in high regard in the football x fashion space himself, favoured Mount over the likes of Joe Willock, Trevor Chalobah and Wilfried Zaha as Premier League players who are rated highly when it comes to drip. Not to mention the likes of Memphis Depay, Marcus Thuram, Karim Benzema and many others outside of England.
The debate for football’s best-dressed continues to be on the lips of many with Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah naming former team-mate Willock as his favourite last week. In a visit to the KickGame store, Nketiah said: “For me, right now, it’s Joe Willock. I like the way he does it, sometimes it’s a lot, sometimes it’s not too much.”
