Arsenal’s supporters have been left stunned after a sensational revelation from new summer signing Victor Gyökeres. The Swedish striker has publicly admitted that someone inside the Gunners’ dressing room appears to be actively rooting for his failure at the club. His blunt and emotionally charged comments have sent waves of speculation rippling through the fanbase.
Speaking at a tense press conference, the 26-year-old forward didn’t mince words. “It’s very obvious that he really wants my downfall here. I’ve observed him for a couple of weeks now, and it seems he is not happy with my stay here,” Gyökeres declared, his voice carrying a mix of frustration and disbelief.
Gyökeres arrived at Arsenal this summer from Sporting CP with huge expectations after a prolific scoring spell in Portugal. Many anticipated he would be welcomed warmly and quickly integrated into Mikel Arteta’s squad. However, his comments suggest that not every teammate has been enthusiastic about his arrival.
As soon as his words hit the public, debates erupted among fans and pundits, with everyone trying to guess the identity of the player in question.
Gyökeres did make one thing clear — the mystery figure is not captain Martin Ødegaard, nor is it star winger Bukayo Saka or attacking midfielder Kai Havertz. That small detail has narrowed the list of potential suspects but intensified the guessing game.
While Gyökeres refused to reveal the name outright, he gave hints that tensions have been simmering for some time. “It’s difficult when you feel like someone is waiting for you to fail.
I came here to give my best for the badge and the fans, but sometimes, the biggest battles are not on the pitch,” he explained.
This admission raises concerns about the dynamics inside Arsenal’s camp. Mikel Arteta is known for cultivating a competitive environment where players earn their place through performance and effort.
However, Gyökeres’ comments point to a deeper, more personal friction that could potentially disturb the club’s harmony.
The situation leaves many questions unanswered. Is this a case of fierce competition turning sour, or is there genuine animosity between Gyökeres and another member of the squad? Whatever the truth, it adds an extra layer of intrigue to Arsenal’s season.
For now, attention will be fixed not only on Gyökeres’ performances on the pitch but also on his interactions with teammates during matches and training sessions.
Any subtle gestures, celebrations, or body language will be scrutinized by fans and the media alike. Whether this apparent rift will be resolved behind closed doors or escalate further in public remains to be seen.
One thing is certain — this off-field drama has quickly become one of the most talked-about storylines of the campaign.
