The 2023–24 Premier League season will be the most competitive ever, according to Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.
Furthermore, he stated he also understands what his Arsenal team must do in order to unseat reigning champions Manchester City.
Last season, Arsenal led the standings for 248 days, a record for a team that ended up not winning the league. He is now hoping to go even farther.
Speaking to Spanish publication Marca, Areta said: “That is our ambition.
“We know the difficulty: it’s the best league in the world and next season is going to be the toughest in Premier League history. Why? It already was last year.
“I’ve been here for 22 years and I’ve never seen a competitive level like that.
“So much quality, so much organisation, so many resources, so many good coaches… and now [Mauricio] Pochettino and [Andoni] Iraola are coming.
“That’s the level and to win the Premiership you have to be the best. That’s why you have to strengthen.”

A lack of squad depth played a key role in Arsenal’s downfall last season.
“When we started to get injuries, I felt it was going to cost us,” said Arteta. “The level of demand could not be maintained.
“If you want to win the Premiership against City, you have to get to April-May with all players available and at their best.
“And we, because of injuries, didn’t get there.”
