Cesc Fabregas has admitted to shopping for hot lingerie — including see-through knickers and lacy bras - just days after revealing he sits around the house in his boxer shorts playing his X-Box.
The Arsenal star's penchant for undies was brought into the open on Radio One but he has now furthered it with tales of dragged round the shops by his girlfriend Carla.
Indeed, dodging between the rows of frilly panties before he is spotted by Spurs fans is just part of his desire to lead an ordinary life.
The Spanish midfield maestro, 20, told The Sun: "I'm just a normal run-of-the-mill guy and I swear there is not an inch of me which fits in with the superstar world that some footballers inhabit.
"When Carla comes over from Spain to stay with me we pass our time shopping in Zara or even in Woman's Secret.
"Thankfully, the people leave us alone and show lots of respect!
"It's the same if a pal pops over for the weekend — we'll go out for a little beer in a small, quiet bar.
"And after training, if I've got no charity or media work to do, I'm off to my three o'clock maths class, which I need as part of my move to go back to university to get a business degree."
Fabregas, who has helped the Gunners to the top of the Premier League, added: "Another example of me shunning the 'star' thing is I'm not even the highest-paid player at Arsenal.
"If money motivated me I could have said yes to the Real Madrid offer last summer. But FOOTBALL — not money — governs my life.
"I'm proud to be a Gunner and I understand what that means."
