Arsenal too weak to win EPL – Mikel Obi

Former Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi has dismissed Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season, despite acknowledging that they boast the best squad in the division.

Mikel, speaking on his Obi One Podcast, argued that Mikel Arteta’s men are not strong enough mentally to mount a serious title challenge.

“I don’t think Arsenal can win the Premier League this season, I don’t think so. I think they’re still miles off it with the team they have,” the ex-Super Eagles captain said.

“They have the best squad in the Premier League, absolutely no doubt about it, but when you watch that game, the way they played, I think mentally they are very, very weak.”

“Arsenal were very lucky to beat Newcastle,” he added.
