“This title is Arsenal’s to lose,” Mikel Obi declared

John Obi Mikel, a Chelsea great and former captain of Nigeria, has lavished Arsenal with adulation, asserting boldly that the Gunners now have the best team in the world of football.

On his Obi One Podcast, the former midfielder praised Mikel Arteta’s versatility and asserted that Arsenal’s bench strength distinguishes them from all other European teams.

Mikel declared, “Arsenal has the best squad right now, not just in the Premier League, not just in England… in world football.” “I’ll bet you that no greater squad exists. depth squad. What is one team that you have on the bench that wins games? I’m not referring to the starting eleven. Sometimes it’s not better, Arsenal. Your performance is determined by who you bring off the bench, not just by your starting lineup.

He cited recent games as evidence of Arsenal’s tenacity and caliber of team, pointing out how substitutes like Gabriel Martinelli and Eberechi Eze had made significant contributions. We’ve watched Arsenal; how many victories have they had with Martinelli coming off the bench? Eze is winning games while coming off the bench. Additionally, Merino is hurt. Havertz is hurt. Not Gabriel Jesus, not Ødegaard. “It’s terrifying,” he remarked.

Mikel emphasized that Arsenal’s title hopes are firmly in their own hands and concluded that Arteta is fully aware of the strength at his disposal. Yes, the current Arsenal team, and Mikel Arteta is aware of that. He is aware of that. He is aware that Arsenal has the title to lose.

Given how well Arsenal is doing both at home and abroad, Mikel’s remarks support the rising belief among analysts that the North London team may be prepared to win the Premier League again after almost 20 years.
