Former Arsenal forward and captain Alexander Lacazette
Former Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has weighed in on the club’s Premier League title bid, insisting he will be present at any potential title parade in London if the Gunners complete their long-awaited championship push. “I will be there. It’s a big milestone, a huge step when you look at where the club has come from. I’ll definitely make time and travel to London,” Lacazette said.
Arsenal sit at the top of the 2025–26 Premier League table, holding a nine-point lead over second-placed Manchester City, giving them a strong grip on the title race as the season enters its final weeks. The Gunners have amassed 70 points from 31 matches with just a handful of fixtures remaining.
With the Premier League season comprising 38 matches, Arsenal have seven games left to play — meaning they are seven wins away from completing their campaign, with the opportunity to clinch the title even before the final day if they maintain form and rivals drop points.
The Gunners’ lead comes despite a recent 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final at Wembley, a setback that did not affect the league standings but added pressure as the squad balances multiple competitions.
Arsenal’s run-in includes high-profile clashes, notably a direct league meeting with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium — a fixture that could prove pivotal in shaping the title race in April.
Fans and pundits have highlighted the psychological demands of a prolonged title push, recalling past campaigns where Arsenal surrendered leads late in the season. Maintaining focus and consistency will be key for the Gunners in the closing stages.
Lacazette’s comments about attending a parade underline the belief among former players and supporters that a league crown — the club’s first since 2004 — is within reach. If Arsenal secure enough points across their remaining games, they could be confirmed champions well before season’s end, paving the way for celebrations across London.
