Arsenal have been beefing up their team in the transfer window this summer and have regained the feel-good factor after winning the FA Cup and Community Shield last month.
Looking at their latest successes and transfer deals, some fans might think that they can even compete for the Premier League title next season.
However, former Liverpool player Graeme Souness believes talks about a title challenge are premature.
The soccer legend who was part of the Liverpool who dominated England and Europe in the late 1970s and 1980s has written in his Sunday Times column that while a lot of people are tipping Arsenal, he doesn’t think they are strong enough.
However, he added that he expects a tougher challenge this season unlike when Liverpool won the last title by 18 points.
“People are making noise about Arsenal, but I don’t see that they are strong enough,” he said.
He added: “However, I expect a bigger challenge from United and Chelsea this time.
“If you ask me now, those are my top four for next May: Liverpool, City, United and Chelsea.”
“United will be better off with Donny van de Beek, but the goalkeeping situation can be a problem.
“Chelsea have signed well, but let’s see how quickly Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz settle in.”
That is Souness’s opinion, however, Arsenal have made great progress with Arteta and if they can maintain the level of performance they have shown recently, they could be in the mix for the title challenge when the campaign resumes.
