ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta should not give up hope of winning the Premier League, according to David Luiz.
Liverpool chief Arne Slot is ahead in this year’s race, while Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City bagged the previous four titles.
Luiz, who won the Prem while at Chelsea, played for the Gunners under Arteta before leaving in 2021.
And he said: “Arsenal haven’t won the league already because there are other amazing clubs such as City.
“Guardiola has turned City into a machine but also Liverpool now with the new coach are amazing.
“Arsenal have to keep fighting . . . maybe one day Chelsea and Arsenal are gonna win the Premier League again.

“The mentality has to continue this way, with ambition. That’s how you achieve something special.”
Brazilian Luiz believes keeping ‘world-class’ captain Martin Odegaard fit is vital to Arsenal’s hopes.
He said: “Martin has grown a lot and is now a world-class player. He’s an amazing person and he’s turned into a great leader.”
And Luiz loves how a fellow Brazilian central defender has blossomed under Arteta.
