The £64million striker, unveiled as Arsenal's new No 14 this summer, was pressed on the song while on duty with Sweden ahead of World Cup qualifiers. Clips of the chant have gone viral online, with supporters singing it to the tune of Salt-N-Pepa's Push It and including the line: 'He dumped his girlfriend, to play in red and white. ' The lyric makes reference to his reported split from Portuguese actress Ines Aguiar, which was widely covered in the local press earlier this summer. 'They have been absolutely incredible, ' Gyokeres, via Swedish outlet Sportbladet, said of Arsenal fans. 'They have shown me an incredible amount both during and outside of the games. I am extremely grateful for that. ' But when pressed directly on the song, the 27-year-old paused before replying: 'I have no comments about the song. ' Viktor Gyokeres was left squirming when asked about a viral Arsenal chant that references claims he dumped his girlfriend Portuguese actress Aguiar, 26, had reportedly begun dating Gyokeres at the start of 2024 The Swedish striker has been a big hit with the Arsenal supporters since completing his move to north London this summer Portuguese outlet TV Guia reported in June that Gyokeres ended his relationship with Aguiar before heading on holiday to Mykonos, while she travelled to Formentera. According to the same report, he told her he 'didn't want anything to tie him to Portugal' as he pushed for a Premier League move. Neither has spoken publicly, though they continue to follow one another on social media. On the pitch, Gyokeres has scored twice since his move from Sporting Lisbon but was shackled by Ibrahima Konate in Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday. The Sweden striker barely had a sniff as Dominik Szoboszlai’s late free-kick settled the contest and left the champions top of the table with maximum points. He will hope to put that disappointment behind him as Sweden take on Slovenia and Kosovo in World Cup qualifying, with John Dahl Tomasson’s men currently top of their group.
