Former Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, has claimed it is Arsenal’s Premier League title to lose this season.

The Gunners have been in sensational form so far, opening a four-point gap at the top of the table.

Mikel Arteta’s men are also way ahead of their rivals Manchester City and Liverpool, leading them by six and seven points respectively.

Having criticized their mentality in the past, Mikel Obi has now admitted that they have the best squad in Europe.

“Martinelli coming off the bench, winning them games. Eze is coming off the bench. They are winning games,” Mikel Obi said on his podcast.

“Merino as well is injured. Havertz is injured. No Odegaard, no Gabriel Jesus. It’s frightening.

“Yeah, the squad that Arsenal has got right now… and Mikel Arteta knows that. He knows that. He knows that this is Arsenal’s title to lose.”
