EPL: Emmanuel Petit names shocking club likely to win league title this season

 

Former Arsenal midfielder, Emmanuel Petit has rated the club’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.

Mikel Arteta’s side are sitting at the top of the league table after six rounds of matches .

The Gunners spent well over £100m in the transfer market last summer to bring the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Fabio Vieira to the Emirates and are making a strong start this season.

Petit noted that his former club are showing more character than in years gone by, but wants them to start winning against big teams also.

“Right now, Arsenal are first in the league so I would say they are genuine title contenders,” the former Gunners midfielder told Lord Ping.

“They have improved over the last few seasons, but they still need to improve against the top teams. They need to learn to convincingly beat top teams.

“We’re seeing things in this Arsenal squad that we haven’t seen before. So for them to be able to beat the best teams in the division is the last stop for Arsenal.”
