Sergio Aguero disagrees with Jamie Carragher over Arsenal's Premier League title chances

Sergio Aguero has dismissed Jamie Carragher's suggestion that the "peak years" of Mikel Arteta's time in charge of Arsenal are behind him. Arteta has transformed Arsenal into Premier League title contenders since his appointment in 2019, but the only major silverware they have won during his tenure is the 2020 FA Cup. The Gunners have finished second in the league for the past two seasons and Carragher has questioned if they will ever win the title under Arteta.
In a column for the Daily Telegraph, the Liverpool legend wrote: "Have we already witnessed the peak years of Mikel Arteta's Arsenal reign? It feels like this Emirates era is heading towards a crossroads, with Arsenal in the middle of a high-stakes game.
"This will either be one of the greatest seasons in the club's history – ending a 21-year wait for the Premier League title – or a campaign which ends amid a highly-charged post-season review into how they squandered their best chance to become champions in two decades.
"For now, Arsenal are just about doing enough to keep the optimists on board the Arteta train. However, emotions are running high. There have been moments this season when Arsenal have been an average performance or a defeat away from the first signs of a derailment.
"Each time it looks like that cliff edge is coming into view, they have responded, hit the brakes and reversed away – most recently with the north London derby win in midweek. Now they need a series of statement performances and victories to convince the world they are title material.".
