Arsenal, the joy of London taxi drivers! Revenments of over 23,000 euros per player!

Arsenal plays tomorrow against Manchester City, and London taxi drivers rub their hands! The reason? The manager Mikel Arta has created a strict rule and does not allow the players to come directly to the stadium, two to three hours before the match, as the other London clubs proceed.

Mikel Arteta wants all players to meet at the club's sports base before match

In order to strengthen the unity of the group, he wants them to meet the “tunnels” preparation base with London Colney, and then to travel together to Emirates Stadium, 38 kilometers by bus. The rule is also valid before leaving, so players hire taxi drivers for a whole day.

According to The Sun, these drivers leave the players on the training field, then return to their homes to take their families and take them to the stadium, then wait for them to the end of the match to transport them back home.

When traveling for moving matches, players are not allowed to be taken by partners or family and are transported by bus back to the training field, before being taken and taken by taxi there to their homes.

A taxi driver makes half of the win on one week on the match day

The reporters from The Sun have learned from one of the taxi drivers involved that the daily reservation fee varies between 700 and 1,000 pounds. This fee covers half of the weekly target of a taxi driver.

One also told The Sun: “We look forward to every match and hope to receive the phone, because it is practically more than half of what we get in a week and is quite relaxing. Who does not want to be involved in football today, even if everything is about taking a player by car?”.

If the players spend around 1000 pounds (about 1,147 euros) per game at home, it is possible that a star of Arsenal will spend over 20,000 pounds (about 23,000 euros) on this service throughout a whole season.
