Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh was the talk of the town on Monday, after an appearance on AFTV fan cams, the post-match forum for fans of English Premier League side Arsenal football club. To say he was hyped up after a 2-0 victory against Leicester City would be an understatement. He showered praises on Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and forward Alexandre Lacazette. "Clinical performance, we were always in control. Can we talk about Aaron Ramsdale?" he asked. He described the Arsenal LHS of Kieran Tierney and Gabriel Martinelli as "really lethal", and lauded Lacazette as "captain fantastic".
In December 2021, the EPL had formed an official partnership with Singh. The Bollywood star is a passionate football fan and will help promote the Premier League to fans in India and globally. Singh, famous for his lead roles in films such as Bajirao Mastani and Befikre, is a lifelong supporter of Arsenal FC and closely follows Premier League action throughout the season. In this ambassadorial role, he will be working to support the EPL's community initiatives across India, promote fan events and share his passion for the game.
Singh ended the fancam with a prediction of victory against Liverpool Football Club (LFC), the juggernaut that Arsenal are expected to face on Wednesday. Let us just say his prophecy involves Martin Odegaard and Emile Smith Rowe linking up in the 88th minute. How much would you Gunners like to see that happen?
