Arsenal will be hoping to end their trophy drought by winning the Premier League title in the 2024/25 season.

The Gunners have finished second in each of the last three seasons, narrowly missing out on a title in the 2023/24 campaign by just two points.

Eager not to repeat this feat for a fourth consecutive year, Andrea Berta has moved quickly to improve Mikel Arteta’s squad, signing six players so far this summer.

Viktor Gyokeres is set to sign from Sporting CP for £63 million, joining the likes of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera through the door at London Colney.

Dominic Solanke predicts Arsenal and Tottenham to finish in the top four

Arsenal haven’t won a trophy since winning the FA Cup in Mikel Arteta’s first season in 2020.

The pressure is subsequently starting to grow on the Spaniard to deliver silverware to N5, and there is a feeling that the 2025/26 campaign needs to be the year in which it happens.

That said, while winning trophies is the ultimate objective, Arsenal’s minimum target for every campaign is merely qualifying for the Champions League, which they’ve now successfully done three years on the bounce.

Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke believes Arsenal will manage this once again, predicting the Gunners to finish in the top four once again, despite his allegiance to Spurs.

Asked in a TikTok video (via @da4p) who he thinks will comprise the Premier League’s top four spaces, Solanke named Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal.

Surprisingly endorsing his rival club’s Champions League credentials, the fact that the England international believes Arteta’s team will once again finish in the top four speaks volumes about how good they are right now.

Arsenal should not worry about the FA Cup and League Cup next season

While Arteta will no doubt have his eyes on all four available pieces of silverware next season, he should prioritise the Premier League and Champions League, and essentially throw away the domestic cup competitions.

Arsenal struggled from relentless injury issues last season, as a result of not rotating heavily enough.

The Gunners progressed into the last four of the League Cup, playing crucial players throughout this tournament, and the pile up of fixtures in January cost them.

Arteta cannot afford to do this again, jeopardising his team’s ability to compete on the two main fronts because he opted not to rotate in the cups.

Winning one of these trophies alone would not represent a successful season for Arsenal, and they’ll ultimately be judged on how they perform in the league and Europe.
