Rangers legend Ally McCoist says Arsenal don’t need to win the Premier League title this season as long as they continue to improve.
Mikel Arteta’s side fought hard against Manchester City in the title race last season, which went all the way to the final game ยูฟ่าเบท, with the team determined to achieve success this season after missing out on the last two seasons.
Asked if he thought the Gunners needed to win the title this season, McCoist said: “No, I don’t think so and I’ll tell you why and what my reasons are.”
“I think if you’re an Arsenal fan you’d be disappointe if they didn’t win anything more than the FA Cup in their first season, but if you look at the bigger picture Arsenal have improved enormously.”
“So the next step is you have to win trophies, but as long as the club continues to develop – in my opinion – on the right path, I think that’s one of the most important things, if not the most important thing.”
