A Manchester City fan who grew so excited at the prospect of AC Milan playmaker Kaka joining the Blues for a world record fee that he had a tattoo of the star’s name on his chest, is now regretting the hasty decision.

Blues fanatic Christopher Atkinson chose to have the Brazilian's name etched on his torso as Mark Hughes's side appeared to be closing in on the player's signature.

But he is now suffering the consequences of his overconfidence following the collapse of the £100 million move for the Brazilian, unsurprisingly becoming the butt of friends’s jokes.

“They haven’t stopped taking the Mick," he told The Sun. "Kaka’s one of my favourite players. I got carried away by the emotion of him coming here. I wanted to show off."
