Mikel Arteta’s remark when questioned about winning the Premier League will be adored by Arsenal supporters.
Due to a late-season collapse, the Gunners missed out on the championship last year, while Manchester City was just unstoppable, winning 10 straight games in the closing weeks.
Despite being in the lead and at the top of the standings for the majority of the season, Arsenal ultimately lost and missed out.
British GQ Hype, a weekly feature on the website for men’s fashion, was able to secure Arteta for the cover appearance ahead of the upcoming season.
The Spaniard was as defiant about winning the title in his interview as ever.
Arteta replied, “I had to go through that and it took me a few weeks,” when asked about the agony of last year.
“I’m not sure whether I’ve moved over it, and I doubt I will since I need that to get well.
To win the title, you need to possess a number of things. Even though we had a lot, it wasn’t enough.
After being questioned about if he still believes Arsenal can win the Premier League, Arteta responded, “If not, I wouldn’t be sitting here.”
One of the adoring comments from Arsenal supporters was, “My manager.”
One more retort read, “Keep going stronger coachie and this season is ours.”
Another responded, “Yeah, we’re winning the league this year, I’m 100% sure.”
This summer, he has certainly spilled the cash and put his money where his mouth is.
Declan Rice, who cost £105 million to acquire from West Ham, has been the most successful recruit.
Additionally, Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz have joined for almost £100 million, and plans are being made for David Raya and Romeo Lavia to make other transfers.
While they have improved, their competitors have also made summer purchases.
Both Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol have already been acquired by City.
Manchester United spent a lot of money on Rasmus Hojlund, Andre Onana, and Mason Mount.
While Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis MacAllister have been acquired by Liverpool, the midfield has lost a lot of experience.
