Nollywood actor Kunle Afod has attacked Arsenal for what he calls a kindergarten mentality that prevents the club from winning major titles.
Afod, known for his outspoken views on football and entertainment, said the London club's approach to competition falls short of the standard required to challenge for trophies. He did not specify which recent matches or decisions prompted his criticism, but his comment reflects frustration shared by many Arsenal supporters.
The actor's assessment touches on a recurring debate among fans: whether Arsenal's squad has the psychological resilience and tactical discipline needed to sustain a title challenge. Arsenal have gone without winning the Premier League since 2004, and their last FA Cup came in 2020.
Afod's use of "kindergarten mentality" suggests he believes the team lacks maturity in how they approach high-pressure moments or consistency across a season. He said the club needs the winning spirit required of champions, a quality he believes has been absent from their recent campaigns.
The criticism comes as Arsenal continue their bid to close the gap on Manchester City in the Premier League. Their performance this season will determine whether Afod's assessment holds weight or whether the team can silence such critics with tangible silverware.
