Arsenal man says Chelsea are the best attacking team in PL

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes Chelsea are the best attacking team in the Premier League despite their mixed performances.

The Gunners returned to winning ways on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over the Blues. Mikel Merino scored the winner in the 20th minute.

Prior to the game, Arteta said that the Blues are the best attacking side in the division and he reiterated the same after the slender win.

He said: "It's my opinion. I have a lot of data, the objective one, what it says and as well what I've seen in the games that they play."

Chelsea remain fourth in the table with 49 points. The Blues have created almost 50 big chances more than Arsenal this campaign, but they have lacked the cutting edge in front of goal on several occasions.

The Blues are expected to rectify the same this summer. They are planning to recruit a marquee striker, who can guarantee 20 to 30 goals per season.
