Former Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, has done a complete reversal, now claiming the Premier League title is Arsenal’s to lose.Despite past criticism of their mindset, Mikel Obi now admits Mikel Arteta’s squad is the “best in Europe.”
The Gunners’ sensational run has given them a four-point lead at the top, putting them six points clear of Manchester City and seven ahead of Liverpool.Speaking on his podcast, Mikel emphasized the team’s ability to win despite key injuries.
“Martinelli coming off the bench, winning them games… No Ødegaard, no Gabriel Jesus. It’s frightening,” he said. The sheer quality and depth, he believes, is the reason “this is Arsenal’s title to lose.”
