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.

Mommy Kim reposted a side by side photo of Saint and herself as a child with a follower saying ‘twins.’
Kim added, ‘Happy birthday to my twin’ adding two emojis.
The sweet birthday post comes after it was revealed Kim is set to star as a character based on the celebrity lawyer who represented her amid her divorce from Kanye in a new drama.
Kim has been showing off her acting chops in American Horror Story, portraying PR Siobhan Walsh, alongside Emma Roberts, Matt Czuchry and Cara Delevingne.
It was also recently reported that Kim’s comedy film The 5th Wheel, which she is to star in and produce, has been sold to Netflix.
She’s also voiced the poodle Delores in a pair of Paw Patrol films.
And now, Deadline reports that Hulu — the streaming platform that airs her family’s show The Kardashians — has a new legal drama based on celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser on the way with Kim, who has personal experience to draw from after training to become a lawyer, in the lead role.
As well as Kim, Wasser has represented Ryan Reynolds, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, and Kevin Costner.
The script comes from Brothers and Sisters creator and playwright Jon Robin Baitz and is executive produced by Ryan Murphy.
Kim and momager Kris, 68, are also executive producers.
The production is seeking an ‘A-list actor to play’ Kim’s ‘onscreen love interest’ and her law partners.
Filming is scheduled to begin towards the end of 2024, with a 2025 premiere date being eyed.
Earlier in the day, Kim shared a birthday tribute to her son with a gallery of snaps with the caption: ‘My twin Sainto! How are you 8 years old already! I just love you so so so much!’
