The upcoming 2023/24 Premier League season offers a new hope to all sides that they may be able to reach new heights, attain new goals and have a bit of fun on the journey too. For Arsenal, it offers a second bite at the figurative cherry that is the Premier League title.
The Gunners emerged as unexpected candidates to win the league last season, despite missing out on top four the year prior, setting a blistering pace. With each game that passed, the reality of their push to the top grew, but after a run of tough results, the race was out of their hands.
Instead, it was Manchester City who won the crown yet again, but for Mikel Arteta it served as a good measurement of his side's ability and limitations ahead of the summer transfer window. The Gunners look set for a huge few months in the market, with the return of Champions League football adding another challenge for the squad.
