Michael Owen has revealed his comprehensive top-six predictions for the upcoming Premier League campaign, tipping Arsenal to retain their crown. The former England striker believes the Gunners will face stiff competition from a resurgent Liverpool and a Chelsea side bolstered by significant summer investment.
Arsenal came remarkably close to pulling off one of the most stunning transfers in Premier League history before Vinicius Junior ultimately decided to commit his long-term future to Real Madrid. The Brazilian superstar was reportedly very interested in the project being built at the Emirates Stadium under Mikel Arteta, leaving the Spanish giants in a vulnerable position for months.
Arsenal are reportedly open to selling promising academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly to Premier League rivals Manchester United or Chelsea this summer. The north London club have set a clear, asking price for the versatile teenager as they desperately look to balance their books following recent big-money acquisitions in the transfer market.
