Somali-born runner Sir Mo Farah is known to be a huge Arsenal fan. His main concern these days is when will his favourite club seal the long-awaited signing of West Ham’s captain Declan Rice.Speaking to Arsenal TV’s celebrity host Robbie Lyle, Farah said he admires the former Chelsea youngster a lot.”Rice has a lot of talent, and I believe he could do well at Arsenal.”
Besides the potential signings, Farah lamented the Gunners’ inconsistency and dips in form, which resulted in the title race collapse last season.The 40-year-old African, born Hussein Abdi Kahin in present-day Somaliland, was illegally smuggled into the United Kingdom at the age of nine. His life started like a nightmare, but he became a four-time Olympic champion and six-time World Champion. Sports have changed his world. Athletics are his life – but football and Arsenal are his great love.##NAJAVA_MECA_7362645##Speaking to The Guardian last year, Farah stated his love for the beautiful game – although he was never good enough even to consider dedicating his life to it.”I would have loved to play for Arsenal, but I was never good enough. I played at school and for the local club until I was 14, but I was only good because I could cross the ball and run forward and run back. I didn’t have any other skills. I joined a running club instead.”Arsenal fan Sir Mo Farah is at the Emirates pic.twitter.com/FD9Hjix0JK— ARSENAL (@tomgunner14) October 9, 2022 Speaking to Hello! in 2015, the legendary athlete admitted that he would have gladly given his son Hussein Mo Farah another middle name.”I wanted Arsenal to be Hussein’s middle name, but Tania wasn’t having it.”
