Former Super Eagles captain and coach, Sunday Oliseh has made a jaw-dropping revelation about Arsenal’s historic Premier League triumph, admitting he already knew the North London giants were destined for glory as far back as October.
The Gunners stunned football fans around the world after finally ending their painful 22-year wait for an English top-flight title, sparking wild celebrations among supporters who had long dreamed of seeing their club reclaim the crown.
Speaking during SuperSport’s Monday Night Football, Oliseh revealed that Arsenal’s impressive organization and rock-solid defensive setup convinced him early in the season that no team would stop them from lifting the trophy.
According to the Nigerian football legend, many fans focus too much on attacking firepower while ignoring the true secret behind championship-winning teams — a disciplined and well-structured defense.
Oliseh praised Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta for building a highly organized squad capable of maintaining consistency throughout the season. He pointed out that Arteta’s leadership style and bold squad decisions played a major role in transforming Arsenal into title contenders.
The former midfielder highlighted key changes within the team, including difficult decisions involving former stars and the manager’s trust in leaders who fully embraced his philosophy and tactical vision.
“It was already clear to me by October that Arsenal were going to be champions,” Oliseh reportedly stated, emphasizing that defensive discipline often matters more than flashy attacking football.
After years of heartbreak and near misses, Arsenal eventually finished the season in dominant fashion, sitting comfortably at the top of the table with 85 points — seven ahead of rivals Manchester City.
With this unforgettable title victory, fans are now wondering: Is this the beginning of a new Arsenal dynasty under Arteta, or just a one-season fairytale? Football lovers definitely have plenty to talk about!
