Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has said that manager Mikel Arteta’s side is the team with the best squad in Europe this season.
Henry also said that the race for the Premier League title is between Arsenal and Liverpool but refused to write off
Manchester City.
The former Barcelona forward spoke on CBS Sports after watching the Gunners beat Athletic Club 2-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
Henry said that Arteta has no excuse for not delivering the title to Arsenal fans this season.
Arteta has guided Arsenal to three wins in their first four games in the Premier League and will play Manchester City on Sunday.
Henry said, “Right now I will say that nobody has a team as deep as Arsenal, in terms of the quality they can have.
“Some team can give them a good run for the starting eleven, but if you look at the team itself it’s almost two teams.
“When you see who is on the bench tonight and you’re still missing [Martin] Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus… when you look at that the team is well-equipped to play in all competitions.
“But now let’s all be honest, it’s a must this year to win something. It’s a must, you can’t hide.
“I do think it is going to be a battle between Liverpool and Arsenal, you can’t write off Man City yet, they’re trying new things with new players.
“You look at Paris Saint-Germain, they’re struggling also with injuries after international duty and a bit before.”
Arsenal host Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday following their 2-0 win over Athletic Club in Spain on Tuesday evening.
