Felix, an Arsenal commentator, posted that strong support from Nigerian fans for the £55 million striker from Sporting CP stems from a 'twisted' machismo linked to misogyny in Nigerian culture, not just his goal-scoring prowess. He clarified Gyökeres is blameless and a 'mentality monster,' but tied it to broader issues like violence against women. Critics called the claim xenophobic and low-IQ, while defenders pointed to his 100+ goals in two Sporting seasons and big-game wins as the real draw. Amid the title race, all agree Gyökeres delivers when Arsenal needs him most.

Key Takeaway

Viktor Gyökeres has powered Arsenal to the Premier League top with 15 goals, including a Tottenham brace. Yet one fan's tweet linking Nigerian backing to cultural misogyny has fans clashing fiercely.
