Arsenal are flying high, top of the Premier League table, playing with swagger, and finally looking like a team ready to end their title drought. With five wins, one draw, and just one defeat, the Gunners have bagged 14 goals and conceded only three.
And club legend Patrick Vieira says it’s no fluke. The former captain believes Mikel Arteta’s men are showing exactly why they’re “on a different level” this season.
“Arteta made a really strong statement by bringing those players,” Vieira told Sky Sports. “I think on the field, so far, they are doing really good games, and I believe Arsenal are part of those few teams that can win the Premier League. I think you will have to count on Arsenal to be competitive and to be there to fight until the end because the players they managed to bring will put the quality of the team in a different level.”
Vieira, who last lifted the league title with Arsenal in 2004, says this team finally has the depth, hunger, and quality to go the distance. After falling short in recent seasons, Arteta’s bold summer signings have given the Gunners the firepower to match anyone.
Arsenal’s spending spree wasn’t just about competing; it was about conquering. And now, sitting top of the pile, they look ready to do just that.
If Arteta’s men can keep up the pace, rotate smartly, and maintain their ruthless edge, this could be the year Arsenal finally end their long wait for glory, and Martin Ødegaard joins Vieira in history as the next Gunners captain to lift the Premier League trophy.
