Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta sets a high target for the 2024/25 season.
Having lost out on the Premier League title to Manchester City in consecutive seasons, Arsenal Mikel Arteta has set an unprecedented target for the following season, in their bid to depose the Champions of the last four English top-flight seasons.
Arsenal have been brilliant in the last two Premier League seasons, reaching 84 and 89 points in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons, respectively. However, they could only manage a second-place finish in both campaigns, as Pep Guardiola’s side amassed more points in both seasons.

Arteta is determined to depose his former boss next season and has stated what they have to do.
What Mikel Arteta said
Speaking in the pre-match press conference of their pre-season friendly clash against Manchester United, Arteta expressed the preparedness of his team for the next campaign.
The Basque manager had the Premier League title on his mind, and he did not shy away from expressing this. He explained that they have to reach an even higher level than the incredible heights they touched in the last two campaigns, setting a target of 114 points—which requires invincibility.
"The message is clear – we need more from everybody. More from everybody, including me,” Arteta said, per GOAL.
“I need to raise the standards; I need to bring something I haven’t brought yet. Individually and collectively, the same. The more we do that, the better the chance it’s going to be to win the Premier League.
“This is what we want, basically. Just work every day with that excitement and understanding of the difficulty. And when those difficulties come, stay together and go through them efficiently."
When asked about their numerical target for next season, he said, "114 points. If we do that, we win the league for sure. This is the objective; from there, we’ll see what we get.
“Earn the right to win it and have the biggest probability over the opponent. When we have difficulties that we are still better than the opponents. That’s really the objective."
Arsenal play Manchester United at the SoFi stadium in Inglewood, USA, on Saturday, August 28th.
