Arsenal striker Alessia Russo's brother Giorgio will be on fans' screens this summer but it is not related to his sister's Euros campaign.
Giorgio has entered the Love Island villa as a bombshell.
The popular ITV reality show is expected to gain viewers with social media discussion from Arsenal fans centered around the news after it was confirmed.

Giorgio is very supportive of his sister's career and most recently was in Lisbon to watch Russo win the Women's Champions League.
Depending on how long he remains in the Love Island villa though may mean he misses the Euros. Russo is a part of the England squad attempting to defend their title.
The Love Island final is thought to be taking place towards the end of July. The Euros begins on 2 July and ends on the 27 July.
Giorgio, 30, is not a footballer himself, he is an account manager and is based in Australia.
