Arsenal fans hate him, says Watford striker Troy Deeney.
Watford striker Troy Deeney has said that Arsenal fans hate him, as quoted in Metro.
The 31-year-old – who earns £65,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac – is quite outspoken.
Back in 2017, Deeney said that Arsenal players – then managed by Arsene Wenger – had no cojones, as reported by Metro.
The former Walsall striker has said that he knows that Arsenal fans hate him.
Metro quotes Deeney as saying: “Arsenal people hate me but it is what it is. The reason me and someone like DT get on, or me and Robbie or me and Troopz, is because I’m not saying Arsenal are c**p, or these players are not good enough.
“I’m literally going, ‘my opinion on it is this, this and this’ and they would go, ‘yeah, I can see that’. Even when Arsenal are good I’ll be like, ‘my man was sick, you know’.”
