Kylian Mbappé has expressed his belief that Arsenal are genuine contenders for the Premier League title this season, pointing to the strength and stability of the team as a key reason. The French forward, widely regarded as one of the best players in world football, is no stranger to winning trophies both at club and international level, giving weight to his assessment.
Arsenal have shown notable consistency in recent years, finishing second in the league for three consecutive seasons. Under Mikel Arteta, they have grown into one of the most competitive sides in England and are increasingly being tipped as potential champions.
Arsenal Among the Main Contenders
The race for the Premier League crown remains fierce, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City all expected to mount strong challenges. For many observers, it would be surprising if a club outside these four managed to secure the title. Nevertheless, Mbappé has singled out Arsenal as a side capable of going all the way.
As quoted by Sports Bild, Mbappe said:
“Of course, Liverpool has to be mentioned first and foremost, as they’re determined to win one title after another.
“But I also have high hopes for Arsenal, because the core of the team has known each other for a long time, and that’s a crucial factor in football.”
Mbappé’s Verdict on the Title Race
When pressed to name a clear favourite for the league, Mbappé admitted that the decision was not straightforward. He commented:
“That’s tough. Maybe Arsenal, maybe it will be their year. It would certainly be easier to say City or Liverpool.”
His comments highlight the respect Arsenal are now earning at the highest level of the game. With a squad that has grown together over multiple seasons, the club appear to possess the stability and understanding required to challenge for the top prize.
Having pushed hard in previous campaigns without quite managing to secure the title, Arsenal’s determination and progress are clear. The suggestion from a player of Mbappé’s stature that this could be their year will only serve to reinforce the sense of belief growing around the Emirates.

Yep Gunsmoke, it’s reassuring to see the opinion of a top-level independent who knows what they’re talking about, which will still not deter us armchairites.
Did you two read the same article?
He said he has hopes for Arsenal but he couldn’t name a clear favourite. He also said it would be easier to say Liverpool or Man City.
Yeah, I read it completly and understood every word, and he rates Arsenal among the favourites. What he said was good enough for me, although I can’t speak for Gunsmoke.
Mbbappe hasn’t really said anything much different from Roy Keane and Neville.
They all have high hopes of Arsenal going all the way.
It’s got to be true if Mbappe is saying it. 🤦♂️
That arsenal squad is too deep and strong not to win the league this season, I will be so surprised if they won’t regardless how strong liverpool are
