”I’m a big fan of his” - here, ”his” is the possessive for ”fan”.

Another way you could write this sentence is ”I’m one of his big fans.”

The sentence form ”I’m a big fan of his” puts the emphasis on you personally being ”a big fan” whereas the form ”I’m one of his big fans” puts less emphasis on you personally.

    It’s ”possible”, but generally not regarded as ”grammatically incorrect” by purists.

    This form is extensively used in Australian English and also used colloquially among some British and American English speakers.

    Don’t try it unless you know what you are doing
