Former Manchester United and Real Madrid icon Cristiano Ronaldo believes Arsenal have what it takes to win the Premier League title this season. The Gunners have finished as runners-up in each of the last three seasons and are once again competing for pole position.
After ten games, Mikel Arteta's side are currently six points clear of their nearest title rivals in Manchester City , while reigning champions Liverpool are seven points adrift in third. Newly promoted Sunderland are level on points with Arne Slot's side and are next up for the Gunners when they return to top flight action at the weekend.
Arsenal have conceded just three goals in the Premier League this season and lost just once in the 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield at the end of August.
Ronaldo appeared on the Piers Morgan Uncensored Podcast to discuss all things Manchester United and gave his thoughts on the current Premier League title race.
When asked by Morgan, who is a huge Arsenal fan, if the Gunners could win the league, Ronaldo said: "Could be. It's possible.
"I think the Premier League , the level of the teams is very similar the top ones. But you know the Premier League, you never know what's going to happen.
"It's a very difficult league, very tough league, but Manchester [City] are not going to win the league that's for sure. They are so many points behind right now. It's possible yes bit I don't believe it [that Man City can win the league].
"Arsenal, yeah it can be. It's possible, lets see. Yes, Arsenal can win the league it's possible."

Ronaldo has previously spoken about how close he came to joining the Gunners before his move to Manchester United from Sporting back in 2003.
The Portuguese international says he came really close to moving to the Emirates Stadium and it's for that reason, he enjoys watching them.
Ronaldo added: "When I look at Arsenal I'm always looking not like a rival. I was nearly there, so I'm not going to say that I have a passion for the club but I like the team.
"I like when they win because of that story. But that's life, that's football. It's about opportunities and moments. I took that opportunity [to join Man Utd] but to be honest, I never lie, well sometimes I lie for a good reason.
"I was nearly at Arsenal but my story won't change a lot. Arsenal are still a top team and win titles with big players. Maybe Arsenal will be better but not too much."
