Arsenal fans have made a bold claim one of their players as they let their frustrations regarding his performance in their shock 2-0 loss to Bournemouth known.

In their first game back after the second international break of the season, Arsenal suffered an embarrassing 2-0 loss to Bournemouth at the Vitality stadium on Saturday evening.

A goal from Ryan Christie in the 70th minute opened the scoring before Justin Kluivert doubled the host's lead after a foul from Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya in the box handed the Cherries a penalty.

And in the wake of the brutal loss, Arsenal fans on social media have called out a specific player for his embarrassing moment in the match and made a bold claim about his future at the club.

The bad news for Arsenal began in the 30th minute when star defender William Saliba was shown a red card for a foul on Evanilson that denied him a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Reacting to the red card, Arteta replaced Raheem Sterling with defender Jakub Kiwior who filled in the for the suspended Frenchman.

But, after conceding the second goal, Kiwior was taken off the pitch just 44 minutes after coming, and Arsenal fans are not happy with him.

Reacting to the substitution on social media platform X, one fan wrote: "Kiwior subbed in and then subbed out, kid is never playing for Arteta again."

Another agreed, adding: "Kiwior never seeing the first team action. His time at Arsenal is done."

While simply wrote: "Kiwior should never play for us again btw."

Kiwior has struggled to find a regular place in the Arsenal squad since joining the club from Italian side Spezia Calcio in January last year, making just 42 appearances.

The result, which is Arsenal's first loss of the 2024/25 season, denied the Gunners of the opportunity to go top of the Premier League table ahead of Manchester City and Liverpool's matches on Sunday.

And with the London club set to compete in a huge fixture against Liverpool next weekend without Saliba, Saturday's result could have a massive impact on the title race this season.
