With inkings up her arms and down her back, Jessica was evidently keen to get them a bit of sun as she flaunted the body-art on Thursday afternoon.

Both Jessica and Robert even boast a strikingly similar tattoo – after the ex-Gunners ace showed off a snap of a new piece last year.

Meanwhile, Pires himself was clearly keen to keep up with all the World Cup scores – with Group H going down to the wire – as he had his head buried in his phone for the walk.

Earlier this summer, Pires urged Manchester United star Anthony Martial to join Arsenal in a bid to get some well-deserved first-team action.

Martial’s fellow Frenchman Pires claimed: “I’m a big fan of Anthony Martial.

He’s very fast, he has excellent dribbling skills and he has the potential to score a lot of goals, but I think he has to play more football.

“I don’t know why he isn’t playing more for Manchester United and Jose Mourinho needs to show more confidence in him.

“I would welcome him at Arsenal.”
