The Gunners have missed the highest price for three consecutive seasons, the most recently short of Liverpool by Arne Slot in the 2024–25 campaign.
Despite predictions from experts such as Gary Neville that Arsenal could finally end their title dryness in 2004, the trophy was removed is Arteta of the opinion that Liverpool’s record-breaking £ 125 million acquisition of ISAK from Newcastle United has moved the balance.
During Friday’s press conference, Arteta was asked how the arrival of the Swedish striker reformed the dynamics of this season’s title, and he admitted that Liverpool now seems to be the most formidable side in the competition.
“Well, they are certainly the strongest,” Arteta told reporters prior to the collision of his team to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
‘They probably recruited the most, the two most decisive players who were on the market in Europe. And they did very well to recruit that.
“They are very strong. But we have to look at ourselves and what we have to do in terms of our capacities to be better than they do. That’s it. ‘
Despite a slow start, Manchester City could also be in the mix for the Premier League title and Pep Guardiola has shown the statement of Slot that Isak is the best striker in the world.
Erling [Haaland] Is a little higher, “Guardiola said before his team’s game against Manchester United on Sunday.
“Isak must be a top player because of what Liverpool has paid for him, of course.”
Guardiola also claimed that many people will have different opinions about who is the best.
“Someone else will say [Kylian] Mbappe, someone [Lionel] Messi, someone Cristiano [Ronaldo]”He added.
“That’s fine, it’s a game of opinions … I wouldn’t change Erling for anyone.”
Liverpool defeated Arsenal 1-0 in their last Premier League match and are the only Top-Flight team that has won all three opening matches.
“I think Arne explained the game really well after the game when he said, when we play 10 times, only eight times will be a draw,” Arteta added.
“One will be for Arsenal, the other was for Liverpool. And a magical moment decided that game. So we want more. We want more of those games.
‘And assess what we have done and also the circumstances we have had, not only in the way we play, but in other areas, there is still room to certainly improve. And that is very good because the team is already at a very high level. ‘
