Arab newspaper follows Love Island (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omani

'arab' is the definition.
(someone from Oman)

'newspaper follows love island' is the wordplay.
'newspaper' becomes 'i' (UK newspaper).
'follows' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'island' becomes 'man' (the Isle of Man is an example).
'o'+'man'='oman'
'i' put after 'oman' is 'OMANI'.

(Other definitions for omani that I've seen before include "Asian" , "Naomi (anag) -- from Muscat?" , "One from Muscat" , "M East person" , "Gulf Arab" .)
