Arsenal close on first Premier League title in 22 years

Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi said he envisions London “dressed in red” if the Gunners finally lift the Premier League trophy, ending a 22‑year wait. The team are two matches away from clinching the title, needing a win over Burnley and a slip‑up from Manchester City at Bournemouth. A victory would also set up a possible historic double, as Arsenal face Paris Saint‑Germain in the Champions League final.

Manager Mikel Arteta’s contract is also under discussion, but the club has postponed any extension talks until after the season. Arteta, who is contracted until the end of next season and earns about £15 million a year, is expected to receive a new deal if the campaign ends in silverware. Arsenal’s hierarchy says securing the manager long‑term is a priority, while the focus remains on winning the league and the Champions League.
