Pundit explains why he is sticking to Arsenal to be champions

Gary Neville has once again identified Arsenal as the side he believes can win the Premier League title this season. The former defender has backed the Gunners for the past three campaigns, and despite their consistent second-place finishes, he maintains that they are capable of finally going one step further.

Arsenal have finished runners-up for three consecutive years, a level of consistency that has firmly established them as one of the strongest clubs in England. Their performances have suggested that only fine margins have separated them from the champions, and many observers feel that this could be the season when they claim the crown.

This summer was considered crucial for Mikel Arteta’s team, and the Gunners responded by strengthening their squad with several high-quality additions. Among those arrivals was Viktor Gyökeres, the Swedish striker widely regarded as a proven goalscorer. His signing is viewed as the final piece needed to transform Arsenal from contenders into champions.

A Proven Goalscorer Added

For several seasons, much of the debate around Arsenal’s title credentials has centred on their lack of a clinical striker. Supporters and pundits alike argued that the team required a forward capable of converting opportunities into decisive goals on a regular basis. In Gyökeres, Arsenal believe they have secured that solution.

Whether he will deliver the goals needed to push them over the line remains to be seen, but his reputation and record provide cause for optimism. Combined with the team’s consistency and the steady improvements made under Arteta, Arsenal’s chances look stronger than ever heading into the new campaign.

Neville’s Backing for Arsenal

Neville underlined his reasoning as quoted by the Daily Mail, stating:

“I couldn’t separate them, so I have gone with the team I have gone with for the past three years, feeling that they are reliable, solid and consistent, which I think is important. They are consistently getting high points totals and finishing second to great teams, I think they have improved themselves, I think [Viktor] Gyökeres will do well for Arsenal.”

Arsenal began the new season with a significant victory, further strengthening belief that they can sustain another title challenge. Neville’s confidence reflects not only their improvements but also their resilience over recent campaigns, and he continues to see them as the side best placed to claim the Premier League trophy.
