Arteta confident Newcastle can challenge for the Premier League title next season

In recent years, Arsenal have struggled to successfully finish their title campaigns. Now, the Gunners are fighting just to qualify for the Champions League, and ahead of a crucial clash with Newcastle, Mikel Arteta has heaped praise on his upcoming opponent.

Details: The Spanish manager considers Newcastle one of the contenders for next season’s title race, stating that Eddie Howe has built a strong team.

Quote: “Yes, absolutely, they’ve assembled a team, they have quality and a very clear identity. On top of that, it will all depend on whether teams are playing in Europe or not, whether they play once a week or three times a week. Those are also big changes, and we’ve all had to deal with that,” Arteta said.

Reminder: Earlier, Arteta’s counterpart said that he was upset about his players being linked with other clubs.
