Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith (Picture: Getty) Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith is confident that only two clubs will be in the running to win the Premier League this season. Following three successive second-place finishes, Mikel Arteta finally guided Arsenal to their first league title in 22 years last season. And over the summer, the Gunners have looked to strengthen their squad further as they prepare to begin their title defence. The early signings of Christos Tzolis and Illan Meslier have been bolstered by the marquee arrival of Bruno Guimaraes, with Arsenal still looking to add depth in defence and in wide forward areas before the deadline.

But it has been a summer of upheaval for several of Arsenal’s rivals, with a slew of managerial changes ahead of the new season. Enzo Maresca is back at Manchester City, while Andoni Iraola and Xabi Alonso have been tasked with improving the fortunes of Liverpool and Chelsea after their respective poor domestic campaigns last season. And elsewhere, Michael Carrick is preparing for his first full season at Manchester United after arriving at Old Trafford midway through last season. Arsenal are bidding to defend their Premier League title (Picture: Getty) But despite all that change over the off-season, former Gunners striker Smith believes the title race could well be a repeat of last year’s between Arsenal and City. ‘I think Man City are the key challenger [to Arsenal],’ he told Metro via BestBettingSites.co.uk. ‘Obviously, they have a new manager, so that puts a little question mark in there about how Maresca can settle with his players,’ but I still see them being the only challenger. ‘There’s a whole host of others just below that, but I’d say it’s [between Arsenal and] City at the moment.’ Enzo Maresca has replaced Pep Guardiola at Manchester City (Picture: PA) As well as Pep Guardiola, City have seen stalwarts such as John Stones, Bernardo Silva and Nathan Ake leave the club this summer. World Cup winner Rodri also looks poised to leave for Barcelona, and Smith reckons those departures might give Arsenal the edge in the title race. ‘I’ve got to go for Arsenal winning it again; let’s hope,’ he added. Smith's predicted top-six for this season Arsenal Manchester City Manchester United Liverpool Chelsea Aston Villa ‘Then City. Manchester United, they finished third last year, and I think they’re going to be better off this year. ‘Carrick is getting his feet under the table, so maybe Man United third, Liverpool fourth, and Chelsea perhaps having a much better season than they did last time under Alonso. ‘They have made some good signings, so I’d see that as the top five, then that sixth spot I’d say Aston Villa are favourites.’ Arsenal and City will face off against each other this weekend in the Community Shield at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The Gunners then kick off their league campaign against newly promoted Coventry City on Friday, with City hosting Bournemouth in their first game of the Maresca era.

It's that time of the year again - the transfer window is now open until September 1 and it's sure to be a busy period with clubs looking to make big signings ahead of next season.
Arsenal are in talks to sign Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray (Photo: Getty) Martin Keown doesn’t believe Arsenal need to sign a new striker but says there is another ‘problem’ Mikel Arteta must address before the summer transfer window closes. Arsenal take on Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday, before kicking-off their Premier League title defence against Coventry City next Friday. Over £150million has already been spent this summer, most notably on Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis, but the Gunners are still working on adding some more firepower to their squad before deadline day on September 1. After failed moves for Morgan Rogers and Vinicius Junior, Arsenal are now in negotiations for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen.

The prolific Nigerian would surely be a welcome addition, with the jury still out on Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Jesus close to joining Napoli and Kai Havertz struggling with injuries. But Keown believes there is only one position that Arteta needs to strengthen in this window, and it’s not centre-forward. Asked by Hayers TV if Arteta needs to make more big signings to retain the Premier League title and finally win the Champions League, Keown bluntly replied: ‘No. Martin Keown says there is a potential problem with Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal squad (Photo: Getty) ‘I wondered whether they might look again at a striker. But they obviously feel now Havertz has come through the pre-season… I think that’s really critical and he’s got that base for the season, so no. ‘I think Myles Lewis-Skelly is coming into midfield, so you’ve got competition there. [Martin] Zubimendi is now in a fight for his first-team place. So that looks good. ‘The defenders, you got [Riccardo] Calafiori, [Piero] Hincapie, there’s a lot of guys in there. William Saliba won’t start the season, but [Cristhian] Mosquera has been excellent in pre-season, he really looks sharp. ‘[Marli] Salmon is a youngster coming through. So, you don’t want to be blocking the pathway for these players, but only the manager will know what he wants next. You’ve always got to have players in mind. Jurrien Timber will miss the start of the new season through injury (Photo: Getty) ‘Right-back could be a problem if Jurrien Timber’s not going to be ready because obviously Ben White’s had a few injuries, but Mosquera again can go into that position. So, that might be something they’re looking at, to bring a right-back in.’ Timber was forced to pull out of the Netherlands squad for the World Cup because of a persistent groin problem and Arteta has confirmed he will miss the first few weeks of the season. White suffered four separate injuries last season, missing 13 games, and has been linked with a transfer away from north London. Keown will be pleased to know that signing another right-sided defender is on Arteta’s agenda, with reports on Friday emerging that talks have begun to sign Jarell Quansah from Bayer Leverkusen. Arsenal are interesting in signing England star Jarell Quansah (Photo: Getty) The England international is said to be open to moving to the Emirates just a year after he joined Leverkusen from boyhood club Liverpool for £30million. Naturally a centre-back, Quansah can play right-back too, doing so during England’s run to third-place at the 2026 World Cup. While some fans may be underwhelmed to see Arsenal signing more defenders than attackers, Keown doesn’t see it that way, adding: ‘They proved it [that they have a good defensive core] last year. ‘You might have looked at it and thought we had too many left-backs, but in the end we used all of them and [there were] multiple changes to the back-four. I’d like to see a bit more stability.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Com
