Granit Xhaka is convinced Arsenal can produce a “special year” under Mikel Arteta this season by winning the Premier League title.
The Gunners sit top of the table going into Sunday’s game against Leeds United, a point ahead of defending champions Manchester City. Arteta’s side have won eight of their nine matches, picking up big victories against Liverpool and Tottenham in recent weeks.
Arsenal have not won the Premier League since the famous Invincibles campaign of 2003/04 and have not even finished in the top four since 2015/16. But Xhaka thinks his side can maintain their storming start to the season – and should therefore be considered genuine contenders to Man City’s crown.
