That’s Robin van Persie superfan, and adorable kid, Louis Diamond who was left grief-stricken when it was announced that his hero was set to leave Manchester United for Fenerbahce.
After the move went ahead, the viral video of the Louis reached Istanbul where Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim caught wind of it and decided to make the day of the heartbroken four-year-old.
According to The Guardian, the Super Lig outfit paid for Louis to travel to see Fenerbahce’s home game on against Eskisehirspor on Friday night after which he will get to meet his role model.
Not only that but Fenerbahce board member Ilhan Eksioglu has also paid for a five-day holiday for the whole Diamond family in Turkish holiday destination Antalya.

That might go some way to returning a smile to Louis’ face.
