Does Kulusevski support Arsenal? Many have been asking on Google as rumours emerge about the Tottenham star’s favourite football club.

The Sweden international has become a fan favourite at Spurs since his move from Juventus in January 2022.

In 35 appearances under Antonio Conte, the 22-year-old has scored seven goals while also providing 13 assists.

However, some Tottenham fans are wary of warming to their No.21 too much amid rumours he supports their north London rivals.

So, does Kulusevski support Arsenal? Let’s take a look…

Well, it would surely leave a sour taste for some Tottenham fans if Kulusevski did support Arsenal.

The Gunners are hated in N17 amid the bitter rivalry, which dates back to when Arsenal moved into north London from Woolwich in south London.

Tottenham fans will be disappointed to hear that Kulusevski does, in fact, support Arsenal – at least he used to.

Speaking on the Swedish podcast Lundh hosted by journalist Olof Lundh, Kulusevski – who was playing for Parma at the time – responded “Arsenal” when asked what his favourite club is.

The Swede said: “My favourite team is Arsenal, because I like everything about the club, the city, the players and the way they play football.”

Kulusevski also spoke about which club he would like to play for before he retires, although he refused to name the side as it is a “sensitive topic” – interestingly, this interview took place while he was at Tottenham.

As quoted by the Daily Star, he said: “There’s one team I’ve always wanted to play for, and I think I will play there one day, but I don’t want to say what team it is because it’s sensitive stuff. People close to me know.”

By the sounds of it, Spurs may have an Arsenal fan within their ranks.
