Ex-Manchester United defender, Gary Neville, has described Arsenal as “serious contenders” for the Premier League title this season.
Neville was speaking on Sky Sports after the Gunners beat Tottenham 1-0 on Sunday.
The result means Mikel Arteta’s men now have 10 points after four fixtures and sit in second place behind Manchester City.
According to Neville, Arteta has a “clear target” of winning the title after signing a new three-year contract with the club.
He said: “Arteta has signed a new three-year deal with one clear target – to win a Premier League title.
“That’s not the expectation of not just him, but of the players, the fans and also in the boardroom.
“This has to result in something. This progression they’re on has to end with a league medal around their necks and next Sunday is another time for us to look at Arsenal and assess where they’re at.
“What Guardiola and Man City have achieved over the last few years is incredible, but they know they’ve got a serious contender.”
