Double Olympic champion Mo Farah has revealed that he wanted ‘Arsenal’ to be his newborn baby’s middle name.
Farah has made no secret of his love for the Gunners since shooting to prominence as one of Britain's most successful athletes.
And he was keen to take that adoration a step further by naming his son Hussein Arsenal Farah before his wife Tania intervened.
"I wanted Arsenal to be Hussein's middle name, but Tania wasn't having it," Farah told Hello! magazine.
Hussein Mo Farah is the athlete’s first son, joining older sisters Rhianna, Aisha and Amani.
Farah added: "Growing up I would never have thought that I'd be a double Olympic champion, with a lovely home and beautiful kids.”
Somalian-born Farah became the first man to win the 'triple double' this summer, claiming gold medals in the 5,000 and 10,000 metres in the Olympics and two world championships.
