It was another season almost Mises for Arsenal. After completing only a short part of Manchester City for two years, Gunners gave up the Premier League Liverpool in the 2024-25 season. Yet on the European scene they showed their Mettle-ranked Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals before they fell to the possible winner of Paris Saint-Germain.
The ARTETETA Faith remains unsupported, hunger last season. But the question persists: Can Arsenal finally cross the finish line, or will it fall again?
Transfers signal winning intention
Arsenal hierarchy was again supported by Mikel Artta and strengthened the key areas before the new season. The targets were worrying when Bukayo jacket had a large part of the burden, But the arrival of Viktor Gykeres of Sporting CP It promises to alleviate this burden in the last period.
Noni Maduke came from their arch-Souperes Chelsea – The agreement that increased the eyebrows regarding the price, but the one that could prove invaluable if the wing fulfills its potential. In the middle of the field he paved Thomas Partey’s way for Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and Christian Norgaard, whose secured pre -season displays have already caused optimism.
The defensive depth was also addressed by the signature of Valencie’s Cristhian Mosquera, a physical presence that adds steel to the rear line.
Tactics, depth and road forward
With a balanced combination of youth and experience on the pitch, Arsenal seems better equipped than ever. The real question, however, is whether they can keep this level on a long track.
With a few new faces in the group, the tactical anem of Mikel Artta will be tested because they seem to form them into a well -oiled unit. Martin Zubimendi adds a new dimension to the center of the field along the side of Declan Rice-Pooking, which could finally unlock a hold-based style, Artta has long introduced.
The left wing remains in the attack. Gabriel Martinelli still has to consistently hit the heights expected from him, which could open the door for Noni Madueke – or even Gabriel Jesus, even if it would be a surprise – to occupy a role.
Kai Havertz will be under pressure to be released in a false nine location, and there is an intrigue over whether Arteta can pair it with Viktor Gykeres in certain games, especially against defensive defense with a low block.
However, the defensive depth is still a potential problem. Any prolonged absence for Myles Lewis-Kelly or Jurrien Timber could leave the rear line exposed to a long, demanding campaign.
Arsenal has often found themselves the second best to Manchester City and Liverpool in recent years, but this season could finally be their breakthrough. Squad was strengthened in all departments, the belief in Artta remains persistent and the hunger for silver is stronger than ever.
Europe also offers intrigues. Run Champions League last season proved that they can compete with the best, but will continue to require tactical adaptability to navigate both the football and grind -domain intensity.
There will be thin razors at the top. Yet Arsenal will enter into 2025-26 with talent, depth and an unfinished business. If Artta can finally “burst the code”, the shooters can end the long waiting for the Premier League crown. If not, it can return the known sting almost Missis. There is time for Arsenal.
– ends
