With Mikel Arteta overseeing profound changes to players, backroom staff, and more, we are finally seeing the Gunners come out the other side of a bleak tunnel in the title race.
Arsenal fans with hope for the rest of the season, but for many, this current crop is still a little away from competing with the very best teams in the league. While significant progress has been made since Arteta took over, there is still plenty of work to be done.
Another midfielder or two has been the number one target for what seems like forever, and another star winger to help compliment Bukayo Saka would go down a treat.
There is no dominant team this season (Manchester City would beg to differ) but given that the campaign is still in its infancy, a lot can happen between now and May.
Last year, Arsenal fell agonizingly short of a top four spot after collapsing in the final few matchdays and strengthened considerably in the summer, bringing in Gabriel Jesus, Oleksander Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner, and Marquinhos.
Is that enough for the Gunners to challenge for the Premier League title? We think so.
