FAR-RIGHT website Breitbart have made a howler after mistaking Lukas Podolski for human trafficker.
Former editor Steve Bannon returning after he was dismissed as Donald Trump’s Chief Strategists.
And one of the first articles published was an image of the former Arsenal striker in an article titled: Spanish Police crack gang moving migrants on jet-skis.
The picture used was of Podolski during the 2014 World Cup.
It is understood that Breitbart used a stock image of a jet-ski, with the American site clearly unaware at the significance of the passenger.
Social media went into meltdown with users queuing up to make gags about the mistake.
Podolski is currently plying his trade in Japan after leaving Galatasaray.
He spent three seasons at Arsenal from 2012 to 2015 — winning the FA Cup twice.
