Former Arsenal and Chelsea defender William Gallas believes Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool exit will help Mikel Arteta’s side win the Premier League next season.Arsenal look like they will fall short in the title chase for the second successive season, with Liverpool and Manchester City looking the more likely winners.
However, Arsenal are far from out of the running, and speaking to Genting Casino, Gallas explained that Klopp’s departure clears the way for the Gunners next season.
The German announced that he was ‘running out of energy’ at Anfield and had decided to step away from football for a period.
The Frenchman said: “For me, I said at the beginning of the season that Arsenal will win the Premier League next season. They will be close this year but everybody is talking about
“Liverpool because it’s Jurgen Klopp’s last season with the club but Manchester City will still be there. For me, City is going to win the Premier League but next season, I think Arsenal will win the Premier League because they’ll have more experience.
“Can Arteta replicate Klopp’s legacy? I think he already has the fans and the players on his side but what he needs to do now is to win titles and he’s very close.
“When he will win the Premier League with Arsenal, I think they will stay on top for a few years.”
