Arsenal ended a long Premier League title wait in 2025-26 by holding off Manchester City for their first league crown since 2004. The team’s performance under Mikel Arteta showed they can win, with a potential Champions League run also possible if they can defeat Paris Saint-Germain in the final. The next challenge is maintaining that level while strengthening the squad for both Premier League defense and Champions League competition. Arsenal have improved over the past two years, but decisions remain about squad depth, aging players, and the futures of several attackers. The plan includes determining who should stay, who should go, and who could benefit from loan moves, with specific evaluations beginning across goalkeepers and defenders.
"Arsenal finally ended their long wait for a Premier League title in 2025-26, holding off Manchester City to secure their first league crown since 2004.
