Dad puts up £3,000 for a hypnotist to cure son of supporting Tottenham Hotspur

An unhappy dad has offered £3,000 to a hypnotist who can make his young son switch from supporting Tottenham to Arsenal .

The father has posted an advert on Bark.com to try and find someone to look into his eyes and make the six-year-old see things differently.

He wants his boy to follow the Gunners instead - and money appears to be no object.

The unnamed dad admitted that his wife "isn't aware that he is doing this".

But so far has had no responses from hypnotists in London - so he has been left with no alternative but to launch a public appeal.

He said he "had a bit of a bonus at work" to fund the treatment and accepts that "this probably seems over the top" but the situation "isn't ideal".

But he says his aim is to get the problem resolved before the start of next season.

Incredibly, he says he has yet to get the seal of approval from his wife because "it'll be easier to ask for forgiveness than to get permission".

He said he had been given inspiration after seeing Spurs and Arsenal fans tricked into thinking their supported the other team online.

Thankfully, the dad went on to say he would still love his son no matter what.
