Redknapp acknowledged the formidable nature of Manchester City, who will enter the season as the favorites, but he believes that the London side’s recent acquisitions make them a strong contender.
“Man City will be red hot favorites again. But Arsenal have made a couple of good signings, I think they’re going to be very strong. I see them as the main challenges to Manchester City, for sure,” he commented.
Speaking about Declan Rice’s move to the Emirates Stadium, Redknapp expressed confidence in the player’s abilities and character. He stated, “I think if you feel that he’s going to help you win trophies then you’re only too happy to have him there. It’s not a problem.”
The former manager of West Ham, Bournemouth and Brentford also praised Rice’s personality, describing him as a “fantastic character” and predicting that he would quickly adapt to his new surroundings in the Arsenal dressing room.

Harry Redknapp is one signing Arsenal should make, an experience hand as a Redknapp in the dugout with the gaffer would be a very good ticket.
An old master like Harry Redknapp with gaffer in the dugout, could have made all the difference getting us over the line last season
You must have smoked more than gunsmoke😉
He could replace Steve round that just left. LOL.
No man is an island, we need to learn from each other. sometimes a simple idea from a season hand works wonders
Have Arsenal announced these signings?
No.
Honestly you would not see any other Premiership clubs handling the transfer of players as badly as Edu and Arsenal this season.
This has dragged on for weeks and weeks.
Why not just withdraw and move on?
Calm down, How many teams have completed more Important deals than Arsenal in the EPL since the window opened? It’s not like picking up Groceries
No it’s not like picking up groceries.
But you are missing the point.
Teams negotiate the price. You offer terms to the player. He signs for you.
As Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, United and every team apart from Arsenal has shown it takes a few days not weeks and weeks.
It’s just media speculative nonsense otherwise.
Declan Rice is / has (?) been on holiday and Timbers has just had his medical.
I wouldn’t want ‘Arry anywhere near our club, just my personal opinion of course, but I’m hoping a certain Santi Cazorla will be named shortly as part of MA’ s staff.
ken, I would be interested in the reasons for your poor opinion of Harry Redknapp. I have always considered him an excellent coach/manager and decent human being, who has added value wherever he has been. Surely it is not purely because he managed Spurs? In that case we shouldn’t have taken Sol Campbell.
Harry Redknapp is one of the people who were not pleased to see Declan going to the Emirates. So I lost respect for him. I’ll never forget that.
