Arsenal boss Wenger admits guilt at finishing behind Leicester

That means Wenger could face a tougher challenge than ever to improve on Arsenal’s second-place finish in 2015-16, as the Gunners attempt to win the title for the first time since 2004.

“[Who will win] is very hard to predict and is one of the problems in the modern Premier League, who expected Leicester to be champions last season?”

According to revered BBC Sport journalist David Ornstein, Arsenal will be without the 25-year-old for up to eight weeks after suffering an ankle sprain.

In a chat with arsenal.com, Iwobi praised the team’s performances in their pre-season games, stating that they can’t wait for the new season to start.

Although Wenger’s future is likely to remain a topic of discussion throughout the season, Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere said it would remain business as usual.

Arsene Wenger’s pre-season has been a costly one.

Wenger said on Sky Sports News: “It’s a very exciting season, there are so many ambitions out there”.

Even world class players like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Arjen Robben or Robert Lewandowski are not playing in the premier league. I think he shows that with his hunger every year.

‘I believe [Walcott] has all the ingredients to become a great striker, ‘ said Wenger.

Wilshere has been dogged by fitness struggles for the last few seasons and missed most of the last campaign with a serious ankle injury. “You can say we’re exhausted but that’s no reason to play like that and we know we can do better”, Can was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.

“His preparation was encouraging – he had a little, little setback recently but it looks very minor”.

“That’s what I want to do – I want to get the best out of myself”.

“Everyone keeps saying it’s going to be his a year ago but he keeps going”.
