Emmanuel Frimpong believes Arsenal could challenge for Premier League within next five years

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong believes Arsenal can challenge for the Premier League title within next five years.

The Gunners are on course to qualify for the Champions League next season following a 3-1 win over fellow top-four chasers Manchester United at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Arsenal moved into fourth place, two points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur who were held to a goalless draw by Brentford.

“A lot can happen in the five years, when [Jurgen] Klopp came to Liverpool nobody was thinking they could win the Champions League as soon as they won it,” Frimpong told SunSport via BoyleXtra.

“Sometimes, you can get the right manager but if the board is not backing you, it becomes incredibly difficult.

He added, “Arteta got the board to back him, they bought some quality players and this next transfer window they need to go the extra mile again, bringing even more players as the squad is thin.”

“If they invest in a squad, I don’t see why they can’t be competing for titles within the next five years. Why not?”

Arsenal last won the Premier League title in the 2003–04 season.
