The new English Premier League season has kicked off, and all eyes are on the title contenders, with Arsenal, Betway’s official partner, firmly in the spotlight. After finishing as runners-up last season, the Gunners came so close to reclaiming the league crown.
This prestigious club has been at the forefront of numerous prize giveaways, delighting followers of Betway’s social media channels with competitions that ran throughout the season. Arsenal’s iconic shirt has forged unforgettable experiences of triumph for fans of this club, with the shirt landing in all its glory in different Arab countries. This mirrors the “Betway” logo’s presence as constant staple at the “Emirates Stadium,” emblazoned across the billboards during matches, and thus symbolizing the strong and distinguished partnership between the two entities.
Last season, Arsenal fell just two points short of clinching the Premier League title, which ultimately went to Manchester City. The Gunners’ rebirth in recent seasons has sparked immense public optimism that they could finally end their title drought. Arsenal achieved 28 victories and netted 91 goals last season, setting a new club record, yet the title remained elusive.
Despite their improvement in defense—keeping 18 clean sheets and conceding the fewest goals among the top five European leagues—Manchester City remains a formidable obstacle in Arsenal’s path to glory.
With the new season underway, Arsenal’s off-season signings and tactical reinforcements signal that they are ready for the challenge ahead.
Arsenal has been notably active in the summer transfer market, bringing in a host of stars and talented players to fortify the squad.
Under the instructions of Spanish coach Mikel Arteta, the club’s management has strategically filled gaps by signing players who excelled for their national teams during the European Championship and maintained a high level of performance throughout last season.
One such signing is Italian international center-back Riccardo Calafiore, signed from Bologna for £42 million on a five-year contract. Arteta was influential in securing this versatile defender, who wears the number 33 shirt and is capable of playing in various defensive positions, including midfield and left-back.
Arsenal also successfully signed Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino, who had a previously underwhelming stint in the Premier League. However, the former Real Sociedad player has now reached the maturity needed to thrive in the London team’s colors. Merino was a standout performer in Spain’s European Championship-winning squad, even scoring the decisive goal that knocked Germany out of the tournament.
Additionally, Arsenal secured Spanish goalkeeper David Raya on a permanent deal from Brentford for around €30 million after an impressive season-long loan.
In a similar vein, the Gunners signed 18-year-old goalkeeper Tommy Setford from Ajax Amsterdam on a contract running until 2028. Meanwhile, Kieran Tierney has returned after a successful loan spell at Real Sociedad, where he made 26 appearances.
A surprise addition to the squad was Danish player Lucas Nygard, signed on a free transfer. With these reinforcements, Arsenal now boasts greater squad depth, enabling them to compete fiercely with Manchester City and any other challengers in the race for the league title.
Arsenal quickly seized the top spot after the first two rounds of the new season, delivering entertaining performances, scoring spectacular goals, and displaying impressive team chemistry. With a squad that possesses all the qualities of a future champion, Arsenal seems well-positioned to make a serious title challenge.
