Mikel Arteta has said he saw Arsenal’s Premier League success coming in March after ending their 22-year wait for the title.<\/p>\n
Arsenal were confirmed as champions when Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth on Tuesday, sparking jubilant scenes of celebration among players, staff and fans.<\/p>\n
The outpouring of emotion followed three consecutive second-placed finishes and a nail-biting race for this season’s crown with Pep Guardiola’s side, who were a goal away from taking it to the wire.<\/p>\n
But in an interview for Sky Sports News<\/em> ahead of Arsenal’s final game against Crystal Palace, live on Sky Sports <\/em>on Sunday, Arteta has told actor and Arsenal fan Tom Hiddleston that he was able to visualise lifting the trophy as early as two months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPlease use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<\/p>\n \n \n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n An emotional Mikel Arteta reflects on his wife’s importance in Arsenal’s Premier League title win <\/span>\n <\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n“I imagined winning it many times,” said Arteta. “Especially because we’ve been very close in a few seasons.<\/p>\n“But this time, especially, there was something.

“I think I had to believe in myself to be able to transmit that conviction and energy to the team.”<\/p>\n
