Arsenal plan to WIN the Premier League revealed as HUGE Mikel Arteta promise made – sources
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, with caption Palpable belief
Arsenal are brimming with confidence and believe that they are on the verge of clinching their first Premier League title since 2004, with TEAMtalk sources revealing the club is prepared to back Mikel Arteta with significant funds in January to try and seal the deal.
Sitting second in the Premier League, five points behind an imperious Liverpool side who have won all five of their opening matches, the Gunners believe they can overhaul the Reds and capitalize on an anticipated stumble.
Arsenal’s optimism stems from their challenging early fixtures, having already faced Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United.
Their next test is a tricky away clash against Newcastle United, but the schedule eases significantly thereafter, offering a chance to rack up points.
In contrast, Liverpool face a daunting run, including Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City, which Arsenal sources believe could expose vulnerabilities in Arne Slot’s squad, particularly with the integration of several new signings at Anfield.
“The belief in the camp is palpable,” an Arsenal insider shared. “We’ve navigated tough fixtures and are still in a strong position. If we stay close by January, we’re confident we can take the lead.”
The club’s hierarchy is reportedly ready to allocate up to £100 million for Arteta to bolster the squad mid-season, targeting key additions to provide the depth and quality needed to sustain a title charge.
The sources have not stated who, but have said if a target who wins them the league becomes available they are not afraid to strike mid season…
Arteta’s meticulous planning and Arsenal’s cohesive unit have already shown resilience, with standout performances from their core group.
The potential for fresh talent could elevate their attack or shore up midfield, ensuring they maintain momentum through the gruelling spring fixtures.
Fans are buzzing with anticipation, sensing this could be the year Arsenal finally reclaim the Premier League crown, ending two decades of near-misses and cementing Arteta’s legacy as a transformative figure at the Emirates rather than a nearly man.

Latest Arsenal news: Gyokeres backed / Saliba demand made by Arteta
Meanwhile, a Swedish pundit has backed Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres to ‘crack the code’ and prove doubters, like Jamie Carragher, emphatically WRONG this season.
Gyokeres has notched three goals in five Premier League appearances so far but failed to net against Man City, Man Utd and Liverpool.
However, the belief is that the 27-year-old forward will prove to be worth his £63.5m price tag and help fire the Gunners towards silverware.
In other news, Arteta has reportedly informed the Arsenal hierarchy to do all they can to tie William Saliba down to a new contract.
The centre-back, who is vital for the Gunners, has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid amid interest from the Spanish giants.
However, Arsenal are willing to offer Saliba a HUGE new wage to tie down his long-term future, with the figures now revealed by TEAMtalk insider Dean Jones.
