Arsene Wenger makes incredible Premier League title prediction after Arsenal pipped by Man City last season
ARSENE WENGER has made an incredible title prediction for next season.
And he’s also had his say on Arsenal’s record £105million Declan Rice transfer.
Wenger, 73, is the Gunners’ longest-serving manager in history after commanding the dugout between 1996 and 2018.
The Frenchman landed three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups during his time at the helm.
And Wenger now works as Fifa’s Chief of Global Football Development.
His title triumph in 2004 remains Arsenal’s last-ever victory in the top flight.

Former player Mikel Arteta came painfully close to ending 18 years of hurt last season as Arsenal enjoyed a stellar campaign.
But after leading the title race for most of the season, the Gunners blew an eight-point gap to allow Man City to win their third Premier League trophy on the bounce.
Arteta is now out for revenge and has spent big in the window, splashing £105m on Rice and a further £105m on Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.
Wenger has now predicted that Rice’s British transfer record move will be a resounding success.

And as a result, he is tipping Arsenal to go one step better by winning the Premier League.
Wenger told : “I believe we will win the championship, it is as simple as that.
“(Rice?) I think it’s a good investment. I think they have made good buys as they are players now mature but still young so they can stay together for a few years.
“They will be under more pressure after last year but they have learned a lot and they can show they can deal with that pressure now.
“I had to cope with no money at all so you have to find a different way.
“Arsenal is now in a good financial situation and bought what they think will win the championship.”
