Despite being knocked off the top of the table after reigning Premier League champions Manchester City beat Fulham 2-1, Arsenal are confident they will be able to mount another title challenge next season if they end up missing out this year.
Mikel Arteta's side have been top for much of the campaign, but stuttered last month as they dropped points in three straight games and were then thumped 4-1 by their title rivals. City are now in pole position to win the league once again, with Pep Guardiola's side one point above Arsenal with a game in hand.
Given the Gunners will also be competing in the Champions League next season for the first time since 2017, they will need to significantly strengthen their squad over the summer and Arsenal's sporting director Edu is feeling "very confident about the calibre of player they're going to sign".
