Premier League stars, including Erling Haaland and Jack Grealiskh wear red-tinted glasses for a new surprising health trend.
The Manchester City duo was previously seen with the striking shades during a flight.
And Nottingham Forest Winger Anthony Elanga has become the newest bait to rock the new look.
The former man in Manchester United stepped out on the international service for Sweden who was wearing the red glasses.
The interesting style of Elanga led to questions about the meaning of the shades.
But it turns out that they are not just for fashion.
Amazing enough, the glasses are actually beneficial for health.
It is believed that red shades can increase melatonin in the body.
The naturally occurring hormone plays a major role in regulating sleep.
Levels are meant to be lower at night and higher.
This enables people to drive away faster, while they also make a deeper peace and therefore better recovery.
Elanga revealed: “It helps me to sleep. It is important to keep an eye on your body, especially if you play so many matches. I am my own stylist.”
Haaland previously opened his reasons to wear the shades.
He said: “I think sleep is the most important thing in the world.
“So to sleep, good, simple types of things, blue glasses, excluding all signals.”
Elanga, Haaland and Grealisk are not the first football players to wear red glasses.
Edgar Davids wisped a few shades famous when he went onto the field.
But the Dutch legend wore his for a completely different reason.
The former Ster Milan, Juventus and Barcelona suffered from glaucoma and had to have surgery had surgery to remedy the problem.
Davids started to wear his glasses in 1999 as a way to protect his eyes.
And the iconic look has since been synonymous with him.
