Former Tottenham midfielder Danny Murphy believes Arsenal are set for a bumper season under manager Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners failed to qualify for Europe for the first time in 25 years after slumping to an eighth place finish in 2020/21.

"I've got a feeling [they might do well] and I don't know where it's come from," Murphy told talkSPORT.

"I think with no European football and it looks like they're having a go in the market, I think Arsenal might surprise a few.

"Although they've got a tough start, I think some of their young players – Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka, for example, are tremendous

"If [Thomas] Partey stays fit, we've seen glimpses of his ability. It could rest on [Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang], he's only had the one bad season.

"I think Arsenal might just surprise a few people but we've been wrong before about them."
