Gabriel Jesus backs Arsenal to win Premier League title under Mikel Arteta
Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus believes his side will win the Premier League title this season, praising manager Mikel Arteta for transforming the club’s mentality.
The Gunners currently hold a nine-point advantage over reigning champions Manchester City with seven matches remaining in the campaign.
Despite finishing as runners-up in recent seasons, the Brazilian international remains fully confident that the north London side can finally secure their first league championship in two decades.
Speaking to Rio Ferdinand Presents, the 27-year-old highlighted the depth of the squad as a crucial factor in their domestic push.
“I believe 100 per cent that this season we are doing something,” he said.
Arteta’s transformative impact
The Spanish manager has overseen a significant cultural shift since taking charge at Emirates Stadium.
Jesus praised the former midfielder for guiding the team through difficult periods and elevating them to compete at the highest level.
“He changed everything,” the former Manchester City forward explained.
“To see the way we play, the situation we have now, that we can win titles, we are one of the best teams in the world.”
Squad depth and title run-in
The versatile attacker has occupied a supporting role throughout the current campaign after recovering from a severe knee injury.
He has featured for less than 800 minutes this term, with most of his recent starts coming in cup competitions.
However, the four-time Premier League winner insists the wealth of attacking options, including Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz, ensures any player can step up to decide a match.
Arsenal’s title advantage will face a stern test in the coming weeks.
The gap to second place could realistically narrow to just three points if Pep Guardiola’s side win their game in hand and defeat the league leaders at Etihad Stadium.
