Although he recognizes Liverpool as a favorite, Kylian Mbappé is convinced that Arsenal will take a new stage this season and win the title of the Premier League.
The Gunners finished third in a row, bowing twice against Manchester City and Liverpool, and will be determined to cross the finish line this season. Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal coach, will be encouraged by the support of Mbappé, but after spending just over 250 million pounds Sterling ($ 338 million) in recruitments this summer, he knows that he will have to fight stronger for the title than last.
The Arsenal title race was slowed down by an exceptional goal by Dominik Szoboszlai against Liverpool last weekend, but Mbappé still estimates that the team is the best armed to become champion for the first time in 22 years.
Mbappé designates Arsenal as the winner of the championship
The attacker adds that Arsenal has retained a solid hard core.
Questioned by Bild on the winner of the Premier League, Mbappé said: ” Of course, Liverpool must be mentioned first, because they are determined to win a title after another. But I also have great hopes for Arsenal, because the team's hard core has known itself for a long time, which is a crucial factor in football. And Manchester City is still in the lead, anyway, with Pep Guardiola and Erling Haaland.
“Maybe Arsenal, maybe it will be their year. It would certainly be easier to choose between City and Liverpool.
Mbappé lost the two rounds of the quarter -final of the Champions League against Arsenal in April and saw the threat of the Gunners get closer. The Frenchman was hampered by William Saliba and Jakub Kiwior for 180 minutes, unable to produce his usual magic. The Arteta team crushed the 3-0 whites at the Emirates Stadium before leaving from the Bernabéu with a relatively simple 2-1 victory, winning 5-1 in total.
