Former Blackburn and Birmingham City midfielder, Robbie Savage said Arsenal pulled off an incredible deal by signing Declan Rice from West ham United. But he is not enough to win the Premier League for them.
The 48-year-old explained why the Gunners are still a step behind Manchester City on course to win the league title in the early days of the new season.
Treble-winners City are the only team with a 100 percent win rate in the league. Although Arsenal had drawn at home to Fulham before a dramatic victory against Manchester United.
According to the Evening Standard, Savage, a former midfielder, has been thrilled by Mikel Arteta’s new midfield trio of Rice, Havertz, and Odegaard. Despite other analysts’ criticism of the former Chelsea player, Havertz.
However, he worries that despite Arsenal’s best efforts, Pep Guardiola’s onslaught will simply be too strong to overcome.
“But even with the acquisition of Declan Rice, I don’t think Arsenal can win the league, simply because of Manchester City. If City weren’t in the Premier League then I think Arsenal would win it, but unfortunately for Arsenal, they are.”
