Former Liverpool man, Jamie Carragher has heaped praises on William Saliba and Gabriel Jesus and he believes they are the players who have helped Arsenal become a stronger team.
The Gunners are at the top of the Premier League table and they confirmed they were serious title challengers with a 3-1 win against Tottenham at the weekend.
This Arsenal team is much stronger than the one we have seen in recent times and they are now genuine title challengers.
It is hard to find a weakness in them, but just a season ago, they were not this strong and Spurs beat them to the top four spot.
However, they bolstered their squad in the last transfer window and two players have stood out since this campaign, according to Carragher.
He said, as quoted by Matchplug:
A lot of people thought that this season, maybe Spurs would be in the position that Arsenal is in now.
‘I’ve seen Spurs got a bit of criticism, but in terms of how Conte plays – they played like a Conte team. If they’d have got the final pass right on three or four occasions, they should have gone in at half-time in front.
‘But I take nothing away from Arsenal, I’ve been so impressed with them at the start of the season – the pace they play at, the football they play.
‘And the two signings…well not signings but Saliba and Jesus have come in and completely taken this team to another level.’
