Topping the Premier League after 8 matches, Arsenal is highly anticipated. Ex-Gunner Jeremie Aliadiere states: “Now is the moment for Arteta to deliver a trophy to Emirates.”
Arsenal is soaring in the Premier League with impressive form and currently holds first place after 8 games. Under Mikel Arteta’s guidance, the “Gunners” not only dominate domestically but also crushed Atletico Madrid 4-0 in the Champions League, confirming their ambition to conquer Europe’s summit.
However, according to Jeremie Aliadiere, the former striker who was part of the legendary “Invincibles” squad in 2003/04, the pressure on Arteta to win a title for Emirates has never been greater than now.
Aliadiere shared with WhichBookie: “This is Arsenal’s best chance in years to win the Premier League. They have squad depth, quality, and preparation better than ever before. The early season schedule was tough, but they managed it well. I can’t predict the future, but with their current form, Arsenal truly has a strong shot at the championship.”
The former French striker, who made 50 appearances for Arsenal, also believes Mikel Arteta no longer has any excuse to delay winning his first trophy after years of waiting.
Aliadiere added: “Honestly, Arteta must win a title this season, and I believe he understands that clearly. The management has given him full trust, providing every tool and the best players. They have done their part; now it’s time for Arteta to prove his worth. Looking at the current squad, I dare say Arsenal has the strongest team in the Premier League.”
According to Aliadiere, Arteta’s difference this season lies in his rotation ability and flexible tactical adjustments in each match. “He is gradually changing how he manages personnel, knowing when to make substitutions to shift the game’s momentum. That’s a sign of a team ready to win the title,” he emphasized.
After years of being runners-up, Arsenal seems ready to write a new chapter where Arteta is not just the builder but the one who leads the “Gunners” back to the top of English football.
