Proceeds from the match – which will feature a combination of World Cup legends and famous content creators – will go to Education Above All (EAA) Foundation, a charity that provides education for out-of-school children around the world.
Ahead of the event, Wenger was told to rate Chunkz’s skills from a series of highlights.
He said: “Chunkz? Who is Chunkz? I have great captains in my life but I don’t know who is Chunkz.
“But if you have nobody else, maybe.”
While watching a video of the YouTuber, he said: “Okay let’s see what this Chunkz can do.
“Not bad. He’s alright. Very skillful. Not the quickest, but very skillful.”
Fans found the manager’s comments hilarious and were quick to react, with one person writing: “Maybe not the quickest .”
Another added: “Aw said Slow motion Chunkz .”
