In a remarkable turn of events, former Manchester United stalwart Roy Keane has revised his stance, now tipping Arsenal as serious contenders for this season’s Premier League crown. Keane attributes his newfound belief to the Gunners’ astute summer recruitment, which has imbued Mikel Arteta’s side with a blend of talent and depth that cannot be underestimated.
The acquisitions of Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, and Viktor Gyokeres have proven transformative, each seamlessly integrating into the starting lineup. This influx of star power is complemented by the arrivals of Christian Norgaard, Cristhian Mosquera, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Piero Hincapie, who collectively fortify the squad’s robustness. Furthermore, the addition of young talent Max Dowman now eligible for first-team action adds another promising dimension to their ranks.
Arsenal’s title credentials face a stern test following their narrow 1-0 setback at Anfield ahead of the September international pause. A tantalising clash with Manchester City looms, posing a crucial challenge for the Gunners. Sharing his insights on Sky Sports, Keane remarked on the significant implications of the match: “Liverpool have been doing what they’ve excelled at over the past year winning matches. They’ve certainly turned up the heat on both Arsenal and City. Given that City have already stumbled in two league encounters, a loss today could well make their path to the title much more arduous.”
