Arsenal are having a great run in the Premier League. They only lost to Liverpool at Anfield and drew against Manchester City.
Also, they are the best team in Europe so far this season defensively, as they have conceded only three goals. Opta’s supercomputer is also favouring Arsenal to win the Premier League this season.
If that happens, then Arsenal will be winning the league for the first time in over two decades. Also, the kind of backing Mikel Arteta got this season is exceptional.
That is why the squad depth will not be a problem for Arsenal. In the last three years, the Gunners lost the Premier League even after leading the table due to the lack of squad depth.
Arteta’s men will take on Sunderland in their next game in the Premier League. So, they will look to extend their lead further with a win.
Also, Manchester City will take on Liverpool. This could give the Gunners a chance to extend their lead at the top further.
Meanwhile, something unexpected is brewing within the corridors of the Emirates Stadium that could potentially shake the club to its core.
A familiar name could one day return to North London, but this time not as a player. Former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini has been tipped as a potential future owner of the club.
His incredible post-football fortune is sparking speculation about a possible takeover bid.
The Frenchman, who retired in 2019, has built a remarkable business empire since hanging up his boots.
Moreover, after co-founding GFBiochemicals, Flamini’s personal wealth has soared to an estimated £10 billion, Forbes (via The Mirror).
Therefore, the 41-year-old now ranks among the richest former footballers in the world and is wealthier than many current Premier League owners.
Arsenal’s value is around £2.6 billion. So he could theoretically buy the club. Also, the former midfielder has never hidden his affection for the club.
However, there is currently no indication that owner Stan Kroenke or his family are willing to sell.
