Arsenal currently sit atop the Premier League standings, but the pressure remains intense as they approach the end of the season. With just four games remaining, the Gunners cannot afford any slip-ups. This weekend’s matchup with Tottenham Hotspur is particularly critical, as Arsenal aims to repeat last season’s victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Mikel Arteta’s team will also be closely monitoring the outcome of Manchester City’s match against Brighton on Thursday. A draw or defeat for City would give Arsenal a significant advantage in the title race.
In transfer news, Arsenal is reportedly in talks to sign Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee. The 22-year-old Dutch striker has impressed this season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists in Serie A. Arsenal is reportedly prepared to offer Zirkzee a contract until 2029 with an annual salary of £5 million.
Midfielder Thomas Partey has emphasized the importance of winning every remaining match for Arsenal. The Ghanaian international believes that the team can replicate Manchester City’s tally from their title-winning campaign last season.
Arsenal’s North London rivals, Tottenham, will face all three title contenders before the end of the season. Partey acknowledges the difficulty of the upcoming fixture but insists that the Gunners must test their opponents.
Despite Arsenal’s title aspirations, not all players who have featured this season are guaranteed a Premier League medal. Defender Jurrien Timber recently returned from injury and has only played 50 minutes in the Premier League this term. To be eligible for a medal, players must make at least five appearances, meaning Timber would need to play a role in each of Arsenal’s remaining matches. This represents a challenging task for the Dutch defender.
