Viktor Gyokeres chant: Lyrics, tune and story behind Arsenal fans’ new song for Swedish striker

Arsenal supporters wasted little time making their voices heard for their 2025 summer signings, with chants for the club’s 2025 summer recruits quickly having songs ring around the Emirates Stadium in the first weeks of the 2025/26 season.

Eberechi Eze was one of the first to get his own song, and it also did not take long for Viktor Gyokeres to earn a chant, first picked up by travelling supporters at Old Trafford before filtering into the home stands.

Much of the excitement stemmed from the belief that Arsenal finally had a recognised striker to lead the line, with Gyokeres' physical presence giving fans a focal point in attack, and while the striker struggled at times, he made a clear impact in his debut campaign. 

Gyokeres, after a slow start to his time at the Emirates, finished his first season at Arsenal with 21 goals in 55 appearances across all competitions – the highest return by any Arsenal forward in a debut season since Alexis Sanchez in 2014/15.

Those numbers also make him the most prolific centre-forward in a single season under Mikel Arteta, and he played his part in helping Arsenal end their 22-year wait for the Premier League title.

Below, we take a closer look at the Gyokeres chant and the striker reaction to the fan attention.

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.

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?
