Former Arsenal captain William Gallas has predicted that the Gunners will win the 2024/25 Premier League title but stresses that they need a striker who can score 20 goals in the league to secure it.
Mikel Arteta’s side has finished as runners-up to Manchester City in the last two seasons.
Despite falling short, Arsenal has made significant reinforcements this summer in preparation for the new Premier League season, which kicks off next Friday.
“I’m sticking by my prediction of Arsenal winning the title, but they still need a top-class striker that can go and score them 20 goals in the Premier League,” Gallas stated in an interview with Genting Casino.
“The only issue is that they haven’t signed that striker yet, despite coming so close to being champions last season.”Gallas highlighted the impact of a prolific striker by comparing Arsenal’s situation to Manchester City’s success.
“They got that close without having a striker who could score 20 goals. Manchester City won it because they have Erling Haaland. You have to have a player like that,” he added.
