Why Arsenal would win trophy next season

Former West Ham star Mark Noble has tipped Arsenal to emerge winner of the English Premier League title next season.

Recall that the Gunners finished second on the league table last season, behind champions Manchester City.

But Noble believes the Gunners who splashed money on new players this summer transfer window now stand a better chance of winning next season.

Arsenal have signed Kai Havertz, Jurien Timber and Declan Rice this summer and they are expected to sign more before the transfer window closes.

“I think they [Arsenal] can win the league, of course,” Noble told Metro UK.

“They went so close last year. You’ve got an incredible team in Man City with an incredible manager, so it will be tough.

“There are lots of teams around them this year, I think Chelsea and Manchester United will be strong, Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp will always be strong. Newcastle, they got Champions League football.

“It is going to be a tough season, but Arsenal have definitely got enough, with the money they have spent and players they have brought in, to have a right go at it.”
