Arsenal fans have been as busy as their club this summer, creating new chants for several of their new signings.
A new chant for Eberechi Eze has been heard loud and clear in recent weeks, but the former Palace man isn't the only new Arsenal signing to get a new chant before doing anything of note for his new club.
A new Viktor Gyokeres chant was heard coming from the Arsenal away end at Old Trafford during the club's first league game of the season, and it has since taken off at the Emirates Stadium.
It is hardly surprising how quickly the lyrics were conjured, given how long the Gunners had waited for a true marksman to lead the line.
In Gyokeres, they have found exactly that — a powerful striker whose goals are often followed by his trademark “Bane” celebration, a nod to the Batman villain, as fans belt out his name in full voice.
Unfortunately, those chants will have to be on pause for now, with the Swedish forward sidelined until after the November international break. That does not stop us from delving into the chant, with plenty already to unpack.
Below, we go through the Gyokeres chant lyrics and find out what the big man has had to say about it.
Viktor Gyokeres chant lyrics and tune
The Gyokeres chant is the tune of ‘Push It' by Salt-N-Pepa. The lyrics are as follows:
He comes from Sweden,
The girls are very nice.
He dumped his girlfriend,
To play in red and white.
He's scoring goals with the cannon on his chest.
His name is Viktor, Viktor Gyokeres!
Dududududu
Story behind the Gyokeres chant lyrics
The lyrics of the Viktor Gyokeres chant have raised some eyebrows due to the reference to his relationship with his ex-girlfriend. According to reports in Portugal, the 27-year-old ended his relationship with actress Ines Aguiar upon making the decision to leave the country for a new life in London.
Gyokeres nor Aguiar have ever confirmed or denied the rumours, and they both still follow each other on social.
During the international break, Gyokeres was asked about the chant, and while he praised the Arsenal fans, calling them ‘incredible', he refused to comment on the chant and the reference to his personal life.
Arsenal fans singing the Viktor Gyokeres song
FGG says: A new low or are they doing it on purpose?
At this point, you have to question whether Arsenal fans are now deliberately taking Liverpool chants and turning them into songs for their players. This time, they've gone beyond taking terrace chants and have instead opted to nab one from TikTok, which was effectively a meme for Darwin Nunez a couple of years ago. What next? You'll Never Walk Alone at the Emirates?
