Saint West continued to show his love of soccer as he paid tribute to his sporting hero Neymar on Tuesday.

Kim Kardashian‘s son was treated to courtside seats watching LA Lakers for his eighth birthday on Tuesday and looked giddy as he cheered on the home team while dressed in a LeBron James jersey.

Yet while he may have been dressed as a NBA star he was still showing off his love of soccer after getting a new hairstyle to imitate one of his favourite players, Neymar.

In October, the youngster had his curly locks trimmed into Neymar’s signature mohawk before dressing as a ‘zombie’ version of the Brazilian player for Halloween.

Taking things a step further this month, Saint had the tops of his locks dyed bright blond to mimic the footballer’s signature style.

Kim – who also shares daughters North, 10, and Chicago, five, and son Saint, four, with her ex-husband Kanye West – recently took Saint and his pals on a soccer tour around Europe as she indulged in their love of football.

She even organized a meet-up with Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah after a match as well as a video chat with right winger and forward Bukayo Saka.

Speaking on an episode of The Kardashians, she explained: ‘I am taking Saint and his best friends and their moms on a trip to London and Paris. It’s called our Soccer Mom Tour Trip.

Our boys love soccer and they’re obsessed with all the players from (Kylian) Mbappe, (Lionel) Messi, (Christiano) Ronaldo, Neymar (da Silva Santos Júnior), (Bukayo) Saka. You name it, they’re obsessed.

‘I try to find what my kids’ passion is, and do a trip with them. I’ve taken Chicago and her friends to San Diego. They love the zoos and the Legolands and all that.

‘Luckily, Psalm just tags along, you know. North loves Paris and fashion, so I took her to Paris. Saint loves soccer, so I figured this is our trip. It’s gonna be so much fun and it definitely is just such an amazing bonding experience.’

The mother-son duo looked in good spirits on Tuesday as they sat courtside at the Crypto.com arena where they cheered on the Lakers to a 106-103 victory.

Kim, 43, opted for a sleek all-black ensemble featuring a busty off-the-shoulder top and an oversized leather jacket that she wore shrugged off her shoulders.

She emphasized her trim legs with her simple black leggings and boosted her petite frame with towering stiletto heels.

Yet more eyes were drawn to the quirky shoe in her lap rather than on her feet as she carried a sparkling $4590 heel-shaped Christian Louboutin clutch bag.

She completed her look with a pair of futuristic giant mirrored sunglasses.
