Idris Elba was born in the East London borough of Hackney, according to IMDB. This could imply that he supports a London club such as West Ham United. Perhaps even Chelsea or Tottenham?

In the video, he appeared alongside current Arsenal stars Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, as well as club great Ian Wright.

According to one of the video’s lines, Elba may have played for Arsenal. Perhaps Mikel Arteta will make a last-minute bid for the actor.

Elba joins Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley, comedians Alan Davies and Matt Lucas, and vocal Arsenal supporter Piers Morgan in his support for the North London side.

He was also featured in a 2019 Four Four Two segment about notable Premier League fans.
