🚨 Surprise Family Connection Alert! 🚨
Rugby star Maro Itoje has just unveiled an exciting family connection that links him to the Premier League! 🎉 His cousin, Andre Harriman-Annous, made his senior debut for Arsenal at just 17 during the EFL Cup match against Brighton. Despite Maro not being able to witness the game live, with England facing off against Australia, he’s thrilled and proud of his cousin’s achievement.
Maro shared, “I am incredibly proud and very happy for him. He has worked incredibly hard over the last 10 years. Watching him grow and succeed is a real joy, especially as a fellow Arsenal supporter!”
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is equally impressed, noting Andre’s determination and consistent training efforts. Arteta praised the young talent: “His mentality and eagerness are commendable. Today was the right moment for him, and he proved he’s got a shot.”
On giving advice, Maro cheekily admits, “I wouldn’t advise him on football—that’s not my area! But when it comes to mindset, mentality, and professional dedication, I’m here for it!”
With the spotlight on him, Andre is fortunate to have a strong support system, as Maro added, “His mum has been amazing, ensuring he has a good team around him.”
Here’s to Andre as he embarks on his exciting football journey! ⚽️🌟
