The Gunners have travelled all the way to Portugal now. They will play against Sporting CP in the upcoming Round of 16 fixture of the Europa League. Arsenal are active in two competitions – EPL and Europa League. For sure, they will be giving it all to win the Premier League and the Europa League. However, it’s going to be quite a daunting task for the Gunners.

After the game against Sporting CP, they will lock horns with Fulham in the away Premier League fixture on March 12 (Sunday). There are twelve more games left for Arsenal in the English Premier League. They will have to be more clinical in their approach in order to churn out positive results out of these games such that they can win the fourth title.

The Gunners will also be extremely busy in adding some valuable additions in the upcoming summer transfer window. Although they do have top players at their disposal, it is important to bolster the squad in all aspects such that the team is prepared to face any challenge in any competition.

Ciro Venerato stated, as translated by Sport Witness. “For the time being, the big clubs only speak with the entourage of the striker. PSG boast dated relationships with De Laurentiis. After the deals for Ezequiel Lavezzi, Edinson Cavani and Fabian Ruiz, it could be Osimhen’s turn, protégé of Campos and Gaiter (at Lille). The Premier League remains Arsenal favourite, the Manchester United-Chelsea duel. High bar for the price tag. The owner of the Napoli Football Club, Aurelio De Laurentiis is asking for €150m for his star player.”
