Former Arsenal midfielder Anders Limpar has said that Mikel Arteta’s side are favourites to retain the Premier League title following Pep Guardiola’s departure. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Urging the Gunners to sign Bruno Guimaraes, Julian Alvarez and Vinicius Jr, Limpar declared that the trio of ambitious signings could turn the Gunners into a dominant force in England and Europe.
Anders added that he expects Arsenal, MUFC and Manchester United to compete for the EPL next season.
His words, “It could all change depending on what happens before the transfer window closes but I think Chelsea are going to be there this season.
They have bought the players who can make them a really good team under Xabi Alonso, but I think the title race will be between Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United.
They’re all going to be really good, I think. The rest of the top six will be Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and probably Brighton or Liverpool.
Arsenal have a very good chance to win the Premier League again because I can’t see a bigger threat to them with Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp no longer in the league, so they can be clever and take it one game at a time to make sure they defend their title.
A club like Arsenal always need good players but to bring in Bruno Guimaraes, Julian Alvarez, Vinicius Jr.
You also have a player in Christos Tzolis, who already looks world class. With these players, Arsenal can dominate the Premier League and the Champions League for the next three years.
I don’t think Tzolis is going to play all that much, which will be unfortunate, but Arsenal need to buy all the good players they can.
Before the summer, I would have said they needed two or three players to refresh the squad and stay up there. With the signings they’ve already made, Mikel Arteta is going to be running the show.
Down the right, Arsenal have Noni Madueke and Bukayo Saka. We already have Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz up front. But what if Kai Havertz got injured again? We saw Viktor Gyokeres was in and out of form last season. Bukayo Saka still isn’t all that he can be.
If Arsenal bring in Vinicius, Bruno Guimaraes and Julian Alvarez to add to Christos Tzolis, those are the kind of players you keep for the long run and Arsenal start looking like the dream team with Mikel Arteta in a position where he can pick whatever combination he wants.”
