In their quest to unseat Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, Arsenal will be hoping for a third consecutive winning season.
Over the past two seasons, Mikel Arteta’s team has been painfully close to overtaking his former club, and they have been closing the gap in recent years.
Arsenal finished the previous season just two points behind City, demonstrating how close the margins are between the two teams.
The Gunners may be able to overtake City in the title race with just a successful transfer window.
Although their summer spending in north London has started slowly, Arsenal is now very close to signing Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori.
Erling Haaland has already been questioned about the anticipated title battle between Arsenal and City during the preseason tour.
What Erling Haaland said about Arsenal’s 2024/25 title hopes
Liverpool is the only team that has been able to stop City from winning the championship seven times in a row during the last four years that they have been in the running for it in the 2019–20 campaign.
However, it seems that the Gunners are constructing something in north London that might offer enduring competition at the top of the table.
Despite having the best defensive record in the Premier League at the end of the 2023–2024 season, Arsenal is on the verge of adding a player of Calafiori’s caliber.
Even though City hasn’t accomplished much on its own, they are already talking about their title rivals in the preseason.
