EPL: I am hoping he’s right – Arteta reacts to Wenger’s title claim

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has reacted to Arsene Wenger’s claim that the Gunners might just clinch the Premier League title next season.

Wenger had recently expressed confidence about Arsenal’s chances of lifting the trophy, telling Eurosport this week: “I believe we will win the championship. It is as simple as that.”

Arsenal were on the brink of winning the Premier League title last season but fell just short of ending their 19-year wait.

They are now trying to fortify their team and have brought in three new additions—Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber—for just over £200 million this summer.

Asked about Wenger’s comments in an interview with ESPN, Arteta laughed and replied: “Hopefully, he is right. He is a very intelligent man with huge experience, so I am hoping that he is right.”
