Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has heaped praise on Gunners boss Mikel Arteta. The 48-year-old lauded the Spanish tactician for his work at the Emirates Stadium.
The North London giants sit nine points clear at the summit of the Premier League table with only a handful of games to go.
They have been dominant across the board. No team has scored more goals in the English top flight, and they have also shipped the fewest goals.
Arsenal have a newfound determination to win games, always finding a way to get the job done – a hallmark of champions.
All signs point to them lifting their first league title since 2024, with Manchester City struggling for consistency to provide a proper challenge.
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last eight league games, and look better equipped than their counterparts to clinch the trophy come May.
Henry has praised the mastermind behind the success, saying (via Sky Sports), “I have to respect what this man is doing.”
Henry was talking about the trust the club has placed in Arteta over the past seven years and how the manager will be keen to repay that trust with titles.
Arsenal endured some turbulence in the early days of Arteta’s reign, but he has steered the ship in the right direction.
Arteta has established the Gunners as one of the best teams in the world over the past four seasons, and he’ll be eager for a trophy to crown his tenure.
They take on Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League this week at home, hoping to beat the German side and book their place in the quarter-finals.
Arteta’s side is also in the final of the League Cup and continues to trudge on in the FA Cup. They have a real chance of finishing the season with a double.
