Liverpool defensive midfielder Fabinho has praised Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal for the transfer business they have done so far this summer, as quoted in The Athletic.
The Liverpool star believes that Arsenal and Tottenham have done well in making new additions to their squad already this summer.
Fabinho made the comments while discussing the Premier League title race next season.
The Brazil international defensive midfielder has said that Manchester City are the favourites, but he has pointed out that Chelsea are good as well.
Liverpool’s Fabinho on Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur
Fabinho told The Athletic: “City are obviously the favourites and it’s tough to fight against them to win the Prem.
“You can play one of your best seasons like we did, score more than 90 points and it still doesn’t mean you win the title. We know that if we want to win it we’ll need to be almost perfect.
“City are always buying new players, always reinforcing their team. This summer was no different with (Erling) Haaland joining them. I think it will be a really good battle with them, but not just them.
“Tottenham have bought some good players, Arsenal too with Gabriel Jesus going there, Chelsea too. Everyone has been reinforcing because everyone wants to beat City. That means the Premier League will be at a really good level this season.”
Good transfer business from Spurs and Gunners
We do not think that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have done enough yet this summer to be at the level of Liverpool and Manchester City.
Manchester City and Liverpool have the two best squads in England and are the favourites for the title.
However, Arsenal and Tottenham have made some good signings in the summer transfer window already and will at least hope to close the gap on the Reds and the Citizens.
The Gunners have signed Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos, Matt Turner and Gabriel Jesus already this summer.
Tottenham have brought into Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison for their senior squad.
