Jamie O’Hara has backed Arsenal to have a ‘really good season’ and he is looking forward to how they fair alongside Tottenham. 

The former Spurs midfielder added that Arsenal have ‘invested really well’ in the summer transfer market and he thinks they have concluded some ‘some great business’. 

Five new faces have been added to Mikel Arteta’s squad, including two from Premier League champions Manchester City in Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Arsenal narrowly missed out on Champions League football last time out, but they haven’t allowed that to affect them in the transfer market.

The club’s technical director, Edu, has spoken about building a young squad and getting rid of the deadwood, as O’Hara shared despite that, you still need experience.

“They have invested really well into the players that they have got,” said O’Hara. “I think Arsenal are going to have a really good season.

“I am looking forward to how Tottenham and Arsenal fair this season. I think they have done some great business.

“I think he (Edu) is right, he has got rid of the deadwood and got them out of the football club. 

“But there are footballers who will disagree with that and say ‘no, you need experience around. You need them kind of players in the dressing room, who are performing’.”

WHO WILL FINISH HIGHER – TOTTENHAM OR ARSENAL?

With Antonio Conte in the dugout, there is talk of Spurs possibly closing the gap on the Premier League’s dominant top two – Liverpool and Manchester City.

But should Spurs look over their shoulders or what is ahead of them? Chasing Chelsea, who look all over the place at this moment, seems realistic.

However, they also have to keep an eye out on their north London rivals, who will be well aware that they can’t miss out on Champions League football anymore. 

Arteta has two bites at the cherry – securing a top-four finish or winning the Europa League.

In truth, the latter would be the best option because you still reach your desired goal, but on top of it, you win a European trophy.
