Arsenal hit their peak this season and will struggle to keep up with Manchester City next season because they can’t sign the same calibre of player, according to Tony Adams.
The Gunners finished the Premier League season in second, five points behind City, who claimed their fifth title from the past six campaigns. Mikel Arteta’s side had topped the table for the majority of the season but ended up surrendering an eight-point lead in the run-in.
The focus has now shifted to how the Gunners can strengthen their squad over the summer and prepare themselves to go again. Arsenal are ready to go all out to sign West Ham star Declan Rice, but the club’s former captain Adams believes they have to be realistic and accept that even matching this season’s achievement may be beyond them.
