Mikel Arteta has revealed a conversation he had with his Arsenal players in which they vowed to win the Premier League title.
The Gunners have come close to achieving that success in back-to-back seasons and are now determined to get over the line.
Last season, they demonstrated they have the resilience to sustain a title challenge until the final day.
It was the closest they have come to winning the title, taking the race to the final moments of the league season.
This season, they are eager to improve further and finally claim the crown as the best club in the Premier League.
Arsenal players were heartbroken for the second time in as many seasons last term, but they are not giving up and have vowed to their manager that they will keep trying until they win the title.
Arteta revealed this and said, as quoted by the Daily Mail:
‘(They have been hungry) since the last day (of the season).
‘We had a gathering together with all the club players and the players were saying to me, “We’re going to be better, we’re going to do it, we want more.”
‘They are the ones driving that ambition. So that’s always positive.’

hungry is okay, but it’s how they have looked composed, organised and confident as a team in pre season that’s important too.
And it’s good watching young players grow. Each year they look different, physically, and hit new personal bests for that season.
And no, the main scorer for a title winning side doesn’t have to be a central striker or 9 – Kai won’t get near 20 goals, but if he keeps up making the runs, pressing, battling for the first and second balls (from 9 and 8) it helps the likes of Martinelli and Jesus to have a proper good goal scoring season.
As pundits as football experts, this is how we should see it developing.
Zinchenko and Martinelli will start today, the rest of the team no surprises. 5 subs will be used as “superstars” have only recently got back from holidays, so will be a bit undercooked.
They certainly seem to have the right “feeling”, we’ll begin to know shortly whether they have the right “doing”, won’t we.
Kai so very good in that first half, as good as anything the media and pundits telling us we must bring in. Would any other striker in world have telepathic link up play with Saka?
Called starting 11 spot on, clever me 😇
