JUST IN: Ex- Super Eagles Captain, Mikel Obi Tips Arsenal To Win 2025/2026 Premier League
Former Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi has backed Arsenal to lift the Premier League title this season, saying Mikel Arteta’s side now have the strongest squad in Europe and the mentality to go all the way.
The Gunners have set the pace early in the campaign, sitting four points clear at the top of the table. Manchester City and Liverpool, their closest challengers, trail by six and seven points respectively.
Mikel, who previously questioned Arsenal’s ability to handle pressure in the title race, admitted that his view has changed after watching their recent performances.
“Martinelli is coming off the bench, winning those games. Eze is coming off the bench. They are winning games,” the former Chelsea midfielder said on his podcast.
“Merino, as well, is injured. Havertz is injured. No Odegaard, no Gabriel Jesus. It’s frightening. Yeah, the squad that Arsenal has got right now… and Mikel Arteta knows that. He knows that. He knows that this is Arsenal’s title to lose.”
