Second in the Premier League, Arsenal did not go far from winning the title of champion of England which they have been coveting since 2004. However, the London club can have great ambitions for the future in view of the performances achieved last season. . And to do so, the Gunners are willing to pull out the checkbook to build a strong and competitive team. Recently, the vice-champion of England carried out the beautiful operation of the summer transfer window by offering Declan Rice, midfielder coveted by all England against 120M€. A substantial investment, making the 24-year-old the most expensive transfer in club history, but justified according to Arsène Wenger. Present on the roads of the Tour de France, the former Arsenal coach believes that the arrival of the English international, added to those of Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz, recruited respectively for 40M€ and 70M€, will allow his former proteges to take a new step.
“Overall, personally, I think they (Arsenal) have made good investments because they are players who are now mature, 23-24, and still young, so they can stick together for a few years. They will be under more pressure after last season, but they have learned a lot and they can show that they can handle this pressure now.”he declared at the microphone ofEurosport before getting ambitious about his former side’s chances of winning the Premier League next season. “I believe we are going to win the Premier League. I have fewer doubts about that than about the Tour de France”.
