Manchester City icon Sergio Aguero has backed Arsenal to be this year's surprise package in the Premier League - and he even believes that Mikel Arteta's side are "dark horses" for the title after their sterling work in the transfer market.
The Gunners have once again splashed the cash after falling short of a Champions League place in the final weeks of last season. Arteta has since shelled out a combined £77million to prise Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko away from City and has also sanctioned a £34m deal for Fabio Vieira.
That trio, along with fellow summer recruits Matt Turner and Marquinhos, should allow Arsenal to kick on in their attempts to finally end their agonising exile from Europe's elite competition - but Aguero believes they could go one better than that and emerge as surprise title contenders.
