Former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger has forecasted that the Gunners will compete for the Premier League title this season.
The Frenchman believes that Mikel Arteta’s team possesses the most well-rounded squad in the Premier League, surpassing Liverpool.
Arsenal currently leads the Premier League table, ahead of Manchester City and Liverpool, following their 1-0 victory over Fulham last weekend.
When asked if he considers Arsenal to be true contenders for the Premier League title, Wenger responded to beIN SPORTS: “Yes, without any hesitation.”
“You may argue that I say this every year, but I genuinely believe that this year they are well-equipped to handle any challenges.”
“Last season, when they lost Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, it was too significant, but this year they have Madueke, Eze, Martinelli, and Trossard.”
“Defensively, they have Mosquera, with options on the flanks, and they also have strong backup. Lewis-Skelly is currently not in the starting lineup, yet he is an England international.”
“In my opinion, they have the most complete squad. When comparing them to Liverpool, I watched Liverpool against Chelsea, and Szoboszlai was playing at right-back while Gravenberch was positioned at center-back. Arsenal would not find themselves in such a situation.”
