If you told anyone inside the Emirates last August that Arsenal would be facing the final week of May with a Premier League title already wrapped up and a Champions League final on the horizon, they would have smiled politely and changed the subject. Yet here we are. And the question everyone in the sport is asking now comes straight from the lips of transfer insider Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano), who posted a simple but loaded query on Tuesday: “Did you imagine the season could be this good at Arsenal?”
League sources confirm the mood inside the club is somewhere between euphoric and businesslike. The front office has been quietly laying groundwork for this moment since last winter, when it became clear Mikel Arteta’s project was accelerating ahead of schedule. Those close to the situation say the manager has earned unprecedented trust from the Kroenke ownership group, and that the recruitment team is already working on three priority targets for the summer window—regardless of what happens in the Champions League final.
What makes this season truly remarkable is the depth of the turnaround. Arsenal didn’t just win the league; they did it with a style of play that silenced critics who said Arteta’s system was too rigid. They beat Manchester City head-to-head at the Etihad. They went unbeaten at home in the league for the first time in nearly two decades. And they did it with a squad that, on paper, still lacks the individual star power of their rivals.
Why this matters for the fan base is simple: the ceiling has shifted. Arsenal is no longer a club hoping to get back into the top four; they are a club planning for sustained dominance. The real test, league insiders say, will come this summer, when rival clubs inevitably come hunting for key players. The front office has been quietly preparing contract extensions for at least three starters, though sources caution that nothing is signed yet.
What happens next is the most intriguing subplot of the summer. The Champions League final is the obvious headline, but the transfer market will open almost immediately after. Expect Arsenal to be aggressive but methodical. The narrative has flipped completely: the question is no longer whether Arsenal can compete—it’s whether they can stay here.
