Jamie Carragher: 'Arsenal look like they could be title contenders'

Speaking to talkSPORT, Jamie Carragher said: "If you actually watched Arsenal this season, you'd never seen it before, they do look like they could be title contenders.

"I've always been a huge fan of Mikel Arteta, I really like how brave he's been, certainly last season [as he] brought in all these young players, now their 12 months older.

"The signing of Gabriel Jesus and William Saliba coming in at the back almost feels like [its] completely changed the whole aspect of Arsenal right now. I think they could be a lot closer than what people give them credit for."

Arsenal are currently top of the Premier League table after picking up 18 points from seven games (six wings, one defeat — 2–1 against Manchester United).

For what it's worth, Arteta is not expected to challenge for the title this season. Instead, the Spaniard is tasked with bringing the Gunners back to the Champions League.
