Mikel Arteta poses on the cover of GQ Hype and Arsenal fans will love his response to title question
Arsenal fans will be thrilled with Mikel Arteta’s response when asked about winning the Premier League title. Last season, the Gunners fell short as Manchester City dominated with 10 consecutive wins towards the end of the campaign. Despite leading the table for a significant portion of the season, Arsenal couldn’t secure the title.
In a recent interview with men’s fashion magazine British GQ Hype, Arteta appeared on the cover and expressed his determination to win the title. Reflecting on the pain of last season, he admitted that he hasn’t completely gotten over it, as he believes that experience is necessary for improvement. Arteta acknowledged that Arsenal had many qualities required for winning the title but fell short.
When asked if he still believes Arsenal can win the Premier League, Arteta confidently replied, “If not, I wouldn’t be sitting here.” This response has resonated with Arsenal fans, who have shown their support and confidence in their manager.
Arteta has backed up his words with actions in the summer transfer window, making significant signings. Declan Rice joined from West Ham for £105 million, while Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber also arrived for substantial fees. Arsenal is also linked with potential transfers for David Raya and Romeo Lavia.
However, Arsenal’s rivals have also strengthened their squads during the summer. Manchester City is close to signing Josko Gvardiol and has already brought in Mateo Kovacic. Manchester United has made signings like Mason Mount and Andre Onana, with Rasmus Hojlund on the horizon. Liverpool has acquired Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister but has lost experienced midfielders.
Despite the competition, Arsenal remains one of the favorites to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title.
