Arsenal unveil a wall-art tribute to the Gunners' fans who won medals at the London Olympics, including Mo Farah, Anthony Joshua and Allyson Felix.

Arsenal have unveiled a tribute to the London Olympics and some of its most memorable medal winners at the Emirates Stadium.

A collage has been installed in the lower tier of the stadium's North Bank stand featuring Mo Farah, Anthony Joshua and David Weir, among others.

The majority of the athletes featured are famous supporters of the club, with Gunners chief executive Ivan Gazidis declaring that the wall art is a thank you to the competitors for their efforts.

He told the club's official website: "We were all mesmerised by the exploits of our Olympians and it was fantastic to see so many Arsenal-supporting competitors at the Games.

"This is a small way of recognising their achievements."

American sprinter Allyson Felix, a big Arsenal fan, also features prominently on the celebration collage.
