A disgruntled Arsenal fan has claimed he is pursuing legal action against the club following their “unacceptable” performance against Bournemouth.
The Gunners are currently six points clear of second-placed Manchester City in the title race but on Saturday afternoon, they suffered a significant setback after losing 2-1 at home to Bournemouth.
It was Arsenal’s third defeat in four matches, a run of form that couldn’t have come at a worse time as they prepare to face Sporting Lisbon and title-challengers City on Wednesday.
After the full-time whistle, Kampala-based Arsenal supporter Eric Kyama claimed to have filed a lawsuit against the club for “emotional distress, stress, and anxiety, among other damages.”
He shared a formal notice of his intention on social media platform X.
It reads: “I am writing this formal notice of my intention to pursue legal action against Arsenal Football Club, its first-team players and manager Mikel Arteta following the unacceptable performance against AFC Bournemouth.
“As a dedicated supporter from Uganda, I am filing this complaint on the grounds of gross professional negligence, lack of competitive integrity and a fundamental breach of the implied contract between the club and its global fanbase.
“The performance observed was characterized by a distinct lack of effort, tactical incoherence and an apparent absence of sporting ambition.”
Kyama went on to mention the so-called “specific allegations” of the matter, which include professional negligence, tactical incompetence and emotional and financial distress.
