A London-based father has posted a request online looking for a hypnotist to make his son switch from supporting Tottenham Hotspur to Arsenal, after trying everything to get his son to back the Gunners. The father says he’s willing to pay £3,000 to the chosen hypnotist, and says that his wife ‘isn’t aware’ he’s doing this.
A UK-based father has posted a request online looking for a hypnotist to make his son switch his allegiance from Tottenham to Arsenal, after trying everything he can to persuade the six-year-old to support the red North London side.
The request was posted on Bark.com last week, but so far has had no responses from hypnotists in London, prompting the father to launch a public appeal.
The request states that the father recently received a ‘bonus from work’ and is willing to pay £3,000 to any hypnotist who can make his son support Arsenal and carry on his family’s tradition. He says that his son is six years old and despite his best efforts, has been swayed towards Spurs by some of his friends at school in the last six months. The ad states that his infatuation with Tottenham started last year after watching Harry Kane win the Golden Boot at the World Cup.
The father explains that his family has always lived in London and have traditionally been passionate supporters of Arsenal until his son decided he wanted to switch to Spurs. The dad also says that he wants his son to find his passion for the Gunners in time for next season, as he wants to take him to the Emirates Stadium for their first Premier League game.
The dad also said that his wife doesn’t know he’s doing this, and says ‘it’ll be easier to ask for forgiveness than permission’.

Kai Feller, Bark.com co-founder, said: “People love to argue about sport, especially when family members support different teams. We don’t know if it’s even possible to change someone’s loyalty like this, but hopefully someone will be able to help out this father and unite the family in their support of Arsenal!”
