Roy Keane explains why he picks Arsenal to win the title

Roy Keane believes Arsenal has what it takes to win the Premier League title this season and has explained why he would favour the Gunners over Manchester City.

Arsenal have addressed one of the main problems in their team over the last few seasons by signing Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Club. The Swedish forward has been one of the most prolific players in Europe in recent years and impressed considerably at his former club. Securing his signature was not straightforward, but Arsenal remained patient during the transfer window and ultimately strengthened their squad with a striker capable of scoring goals regularly. This addition is widely viewed as a key factor in their potential to compete for the league crown.

Manchester City have also bolstered their squad with high-quality additions, as have Liverpool and Chelsea. While Liverpool remains the favourite to retain their title as defending champions, Arsenal’s strategic acquisitions have significantly enhanced its prospects.

Keane said, “I never usually bet against Pep and City. I just think maybe defensively, and I know that they’ve thrown James Trafford in there, and I think he’s a really top goalkeeper but I just have that gut feeling that I think Arsenal might do it this year,” as quoted by the Daily Mail. Keane’s comments underline the confidence that Arsenal’s strengthened squad has inspired among experienced football figures.

Managing Expectations and Title Hopes

Despite the excitement surrounding Arsenal, it is important to manage expectations and not place too much pressure on the team to deliver immediately. Competing against the likes of Manchester City and other title contenders will require consistency, resilience, and composure throughout the season. Arsenal’s additions, combined with the tactical acumen of their coaching staff, suggest the club is well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities and challenge for the top spot.

Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see if Arsenal can convert their improved squad into a title-winning performance, finally securing the Premier League crown. Careful management of players and expectations will be key to ensuring that the team’s potential translates into results on the pitch.
