Arteta Urges Arsenal To “Keep Digging” For Premier League Glory

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has sent out a message to fans and players, encouraging them to push for the Premier League title this season. Speaking before the new campaign, Arteta said, “Keep digging… the gold will be there.” This shows his belief that hard work will bring success to the club, as he has previously stated that Arsenal deserves a major title for their years of effort in the Premier League according to reports.

WHAT HAPPENED

Arteta gave this hopeful statement as Arsenal get ready for the 2025/26 season. They have finished second for three straight years, with their most recent performance seeing them finish with 74 points last season. Last year, Arsenal were behind Liverpool by 10 points and also reached their first Champions League semi-final since 2008. Arteta has improved the team with significant summer additions, looking to build on last season’s strong performance.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Arsenal has changed a lot under Arteta. They have earned more Premier League points than any other team over the last three years, positioning them as one of Europe’s best teams. However, they haven’t won a trophy since the FA Cup in 2020. Arteta knows there is tough competition with up to eight other teams aiming for the title. This season is crucial because the squad is ready to make a real title push.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR ARSENAL?

Arsenal will start their new season with an away game against Manchester United on August 17. They finished last season as the runners-up and now need to take the final step to become champions. Rivals like Liverpool, Manchester City, and others are also aiming for the top. Arsenal’s strong squad and determination might be enough this time, but Arteta warns that they need to keep working hard. Every match and every point will be important in this competitive title race.
