Bukayo Saka has expressed confidence that Arsenal can finally end their two-decade wait for a Premier League title, citing the team's improved depth and mentality as key factors this season.
The Gunners currently lead Bournemouth by four points, with Manchester City and Liverpool trailing by six and seven points respectively.
Despite finishing second in each of the last three seasons, Saka insists this Arsenal team is built differently.

“This year I think we are a very strong group and we have a lot of quality,” Saka told Sky Sports.
“We've already dealt with a lot of injuries, but the players who have come in have shown that we can all keep the level at the highest level. I think that's where we slipped some seasons ago, but this season, we've got that – and it's really giving me confidence that we can do it.”
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta spent approximately £250 million during the summer transfer window to strengthen his squad, with new additions contributing to increase the team's balance and competitiveness. The Gunners have now won seven consecutive matches in all competitions, relying on their defensive solidity and efficiency from set pieces.
Saka, who has been key to Arsenal's title run, also hopes to make 2026 a landmark year by helping end England's long wait for a major international trophy at the FIFA World Cup.
“Of course it's possible,” Saka said. “You can't really do anything if you don't believe in it. I believe it is possible. It won't be easy, but yes, it is possible.”
