Ariel Helwani claims that he is "the biggest fan" of English Premier League team
Ariel Helwani interviewed former Nottingham Forest player Brennan Johnson back in 2023, during which he revealed that he is a massive supporter of English Premier League side Nottingham Forest.
During his conversation with Johnson, Helwani said:
"I am pretty much the biggest Nottingham Forest fan on the planet right now. I did become a fan only back in August [2022] but I have gone in with two feet into the deep end because I love everything about the club, I love everything you're doing, everything that has been happening over the past year and I've learnt a lot about the history of the team as well"
