Super Eagles and Nottingham Forest versatile defender, Olaoluwa Temitayo Aina, has revealed what Arsenal must do to win the English Premier League title at the end of the season, Soccernet.ng reports.
Mikel Arteta’s side have ended up in second place for two consecutive English Premier League seasons, losing top spot to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
The Gunners are currently third on the league table this season after 17 games, and are six points behind Arne Slot’s Liverpool who occupy the top spot with a game in hand.
Arteta has more headaches as Raheem Sterling and his talismanic attacker, Bukayo Saka, are currently injured, leaving the squad thin on options to play in attack. It is also worth noting that Arsenal will play ten games over the next four weeks across several tournaments which includes away trips.
Aina, whose side have been defying the odds in the English top-flight this season, has revealed Arsenal need to have a large squad to stand a chance to win the league title at the end of the season.
“They’ve second for two seasons now. I think they need depth. Squad depth. They’re competing in several competitions and you need players for that,” the former Fulham defender said on the Filthy Fellas Podcast.
The Nigerian has been arguably one of the best full-backs in the English Premier League this season, and has been included in BBC’s Team of the Week twice. Nottingham Forest are currently fourth in the English top-flight for the first time in thirty years.
