Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has expressed doubts about Arsenal’s ability to replicate their impressive form from last season in the upcoming campaign. He predicts that the Gunners will finish below several other clubs in the league table.
Arsenal surprised many football fans with their improved performances last season, coming close to winning the league and securing a place in the Champions League. Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, the club has been undergoing a rebuilding process since 2020, and their progress has made them a formidable team on the continent.
Although Arsenal is expected to make significant signings in the current transfer window to bolster their squad and sustain their previous standards, Saha remains unconvinced that they will secure a top-four finish in the league.
He said via The Sun:
“I believe that Liverpool are going to be up there and will most likely be the main threat.
“Everybody will probably say Arsenal because of what they did last season.
“But even if they make some good signings this summer, I’ll still be surprised if they finish ahead of Man City, Liverpool, Man United and Chelsea next season.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
No one believed we could stay atop the league standings for as long as we did last season, but we did and we expect to have more doubters in the next campaign.
The most important thing is that we remain focused on the job at hand and do our best whenever we step on the pitch.

I find that rather surprising especially since the season hasn’t got underway yet and, therefore, nothing to gauge his predictions on.
saha been on manch red bull and vodka
Here we go again with so called experts having their say. Remind me , did he win anything ? Best to just ignore comments like this made in June and let our football do the talking
“did he win anything?”
Yes, although regularly injured & missing many games he still managed to win: Premier League in 2006/07 & 2007/08 & Champions League in 2007/08. All with United. Info via Wikipedia.
Didn’t do much as an international though, even in an excellent French side.
Talking rubbish in The Sun of course.
For a player try cutting his teeth in punditry, it would have help a great deal, had he took the time out to explain how he came by his findings.
But to say Arsenal will not make the top four before a single ball is kick, makes you wonder if Saha has an axe to grind.
Arsenal will surpassed their last season achievment louis saha watch out man city didnt believed what their eyes saws last season
That’s why I really wanted Arsenal to win the league just to shut up these so called pundits. Any way like the saying goes, at first if you don’t succeed —–. We move.
Nothing we expects from man u people the hate for arsenal make people not to assess a situation objectively. Gooners we expect this from him. I hope people like this will keep quiet.
We have been doubted since Arteta started building his own team. We bottled Top 4 2021/22 but before that season began everyone assured us that we would be lucky to finish 6th. We just missed out on 4th place by 2 points after leading the likes of Chelsea and Spurs for the majority if that time.
This recent concludes season (2022/23) we were completely written off by the majority citing we will be lucky to finish in the Top 6/7. But we led the whole league for about 90% of the season and only chocked in thw closing 6 or so games. But we finished 2nd.
We will see how we get on again. What Arteta keeps doing is proving people wrong. He seems to have a very high ceiling while pundits, rival fans and the Anti Arteta arsenal fans think he is a mid table / championship level..
He just needs to keep his head down and keep performing / progressing us forward like he had done since he joined. Avoid all the noise and keep doing youe job Sir.
As long as he keep performing I will keep defending him from the bitters.
There are only a few pundits I have time for and Saha is not one of them. Until the window closes I wouldn’t even start to make predictions, these people just like make the air move with their opinions.
Except if Saha joins the referee club to deny Arsenal top4 and the trophy this coming season!!
