THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR ARSENAL TO WIN THE ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP NO MORE EXCUSES

With the Soccer transfer window ongoing, no doubt billions of soccer fans globally have welcomed the transfer from West ham United FC England midfield sensation Declan Rice who complete his British record 105 million pounds deal to Arsenal FC eclipsing fellow compatriot Jack Grealish who did 100 million pounds transfer to Manchester City from Aston Villa FC.

This transfer is a wake-up call for Arsenal FC who have become perennial underachievers since their last double-winning season of 2002–2004 season, this Soccer club with immense potential of winning bigger laurels but always finds themselves at the short end of the stick, due to lack of focus, winning strategy and inconsistency which has broken the hearts of lots of fans who have invested their faith,love, time, energies, resources and passion in following the North London Football giants..Though last 2022–2023 season was an improvement for Arsenal who had a close snatch at the EPL only for them to be displaced to second place after a long reign on the top spot of the league to treble winning champions Manchester City FC..This new season Arsenal Fc is back in the lucrative UEFA Champions league with the signing of Declan rice,Hai Havertz and dutch youngster trimbers from Ajax with a transfer expenditure gulping a whopping 208 Million pounds that is a record for Arsenal, the question now for the management of Arsenal and their Spanish coach Mikeal Arteta is simply deliver the results because pundits,fans and enthusiasts will not welcome silly excuses of not winning a major title in a whole soccer season with these huge reinforcements that have been made to the squad for this new campaign, Since Manchester City FC was acquired by the Qatari billionaires who invested heavily in soccer talents and a new management for the club, it has moved from a non-performing club to winning 8 Premier league titles with FA Cup and most recently the elusive UEFA Champions league title.

With these recent additions to the Arsenal squad already boosting the likes of young sensations like Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Gabriel Martinelli the club has to go for the gauntlet and win more elusive major titles…This achievement can only be possible with focus, consistency and never wavering spirit which indomitable champions are known for like what Manchester City FC displayed last season, by completing a historic treble 24 years after city rivals Manchester United achieved a similar feat.

The message is clear to all and sundry Arsenal, it is your opportunity to return to glory in EPL and Europe but it can only be achieved by focusing on the goal no distractions no slip up this time around A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!!!
