Sometimes there are names that you wouldn’t imagine a particular personality saying. This Monday, in an interview published on the YouTube channel “The Adam Friedland Show”, the new mayor of New York Zohran Mamdani raised several points. And this concerns the French footballer.
A big fan of Arsenal, this Democrat Party member was introduced by the presenter with his love of football. And when he received congratulations from two former Gunners players, Ian Wright and Hector Bellerin, he delivered a truly astonishing confession. “Every morning, when I wake up, I think of Sébastien Squillaci, Pascal Cygan…” he assured, before adding a third name: “Marouane Chamakh!” “.
So there is no doubt that Zohran Mamdani is a true Arsenal fan, because not all three former players have had impressive careers in north London. While Sébastien Squillaci played 40 games in three seasons (2010-2013), Pascal Cygan played 94 games between 2002 and 2006. Arriving from Bordeaux as a hero in 2010, Marouane Chamakh scored just 14 goals in 67 games with the Gunners.
However, the new Mayor of New York did not forget it, and even thought about it when he woke up in the morning. A nice nod from a man who will be officially invested in his new role on January 1st.
