Arsenal have been told that if they don’t win the Premier League title this season they can forget about it for a few years. In a damning indictment, former Chelsea and Southampton defender Ryan Bertrand believes it’s this season or bust for Mikel Arteta’s side.
The Gunners have finished second behind Manchester City in each of the last two seasons – five points and then two points behind Pep Guardiola’s side. The gap has been decreasing but it needs to flip in Arsenal’s favour this year according to Bertrand.
Speaking at the launch of Ladbrokes’ Gaffer of all Accas event, Bertrand even hinted that Arteta and other big-name players could leave if they do not win the title this time around. He said: “If Arsenal don’t win the Premier League this year, then they won’t win it for a little while. They’re the team that have momentum, they’re the team that haven’t won the league in a long time.
