Former Manchester City legend, Sergio Aguero, has said that Arsenal is in a good position to win the Premier League title.
Aguero has been part of several title battles in the past few years and believes Arsenal is doing well in the competition.
The Gunners beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 at the weekend, helping them get back to winning in the league after two straight draws.
They are now five points ahead at the top, having played one more game than second-placed City, which has 56 points.
Recognizing the strength in the Gunners’ squad, five-time Premier League champion, Aguero spoke to Stake through Football 365:
“It’s not about having a weak mindset. Not now, at least, because the team has a very complete and balanced squad that has much more experience compared to the recent past.
“They’ve faced this situation before and came really close to succeeding. And today you can see that they have a stronger mindset. The young players have matured, and they’ve added some excellent talent, which is clear to see.
The former City striker added, “Arteta has shown he’s a top manager. He has put together a strong group of players who know how to compete and are consistently in the running for the championship.
“Let’s think about how many years have passed since Arsenal last won the Premier League. How close they have gotten to achieving that in recent years. I think if you talk to Arsenal fans, they would really hope Arteta stays at the club for a long time.”
Arteta’s team has finished as runners-up in the league three times in a row, losing out to Manchester City twice and to Liverpool last year. They’re trying to end their 22-year wait for a league title.
