He has yet to capture the Premier League title, which has eluded Arsenal since they won it unbeaten in the 2003/04 season. Aina has pointed out what he must do to cross the final hurdle.

Injuries to Thomas Partey and William Saliba have cost the team recently. This season, Martin Odegaard has spent time on the sidelines, which has resulted in a difficult time for the team.
As noted by BBC Sports, Bukayo Saka is set for “weeks” on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury in that 5-1 win over Crystal Palace, compiling the worries of Arteta.
