Premier League Preview: The fans’ view – Arsenal | OneFootball

Ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season we spoke to fans of all 20 clubs to get their views on the upcoming campaign.

Here, we chatted to AFC Flair about all things Arsenal.

What lessons need to be learned from last season?

One lesson that has to be learnt from last season, is that we need more depth. We had too many injuries and now we have brought in the depth we needed we should be able to compete.

What’s your view on the manager?

It’s do or die now Arteta, he has to deliver Arsenal trophies. He has spent the last five years building this squad and we have finished second in the last three seasons. It’s time to start delivering especially with the squad we now have.

What’s your verdict on the transfer window so far?

I think that this transfer window has been underwhelming for Arsenal, the signings of Mosquera and Zubimendi have been good. But the rest of the signings don’t make me scream Premier League champions come the end of the campaign.

There has been a lot of talk about Eze, however his preferred position is as a no.10. If we are buying him for the left-wing, it’s a bad signing. And the fact that we splashed £50M on Noni Madueke infuriated me ever more. Yes, he’s a good player and i’m happy that he’s here as he is good depth, but £50M for a bench player?

However, Viktor Gyokeres was a good signing, let’s just see if he lives up to the hype and expectations in the Premier League.

One player to watch from your club this season is?

I think Martin Zubimendi and Max Dowman will be great additions to the squad. They’re the ones to watch for me.

The most underrated player at your club is…

The most underrated player at Arsenal is, by far, Jakub Kiwior. The way he stepped up for Gabriel at the end of last season was extraordinary. He deserves more game time.

The game you’re most looking forward to is…

I’m most looking forward to playing Liverpool. These last few years we have put a fight up against them. Now that we have strengthened and they have strengthened it should be a good watch, also in terms of the title race.

What opposition player do you secretly admire?

I do secretly admire Jeremie Frimpong. I think he’s a fantastic player, his speed and the way he helps that right-hand side. Liverpool did really well getting him for the price they did.

This season your team will finish…

Arsenal will finish second again this season. Simply, we haven’t got a good enough squad yet to win the league. A statement signing on that left-hand side is needed then maybe I will say first, but it would need to be either a Rodrygo or Rafael Leao for me to start saying that.
