Biteback Publishing 22 Years: The Inside Story of Arsenal's Title-Winning Season

They were labelled 'bottlers'. Season after season, they came tantalisingly close to triumph without ever making good on their promise. But as Declan Rice asserted after a potentially season-defining defeat to Manchester City: 'It's not done.' Now Arsenal are Premier League champions after twenty-two long years - and this is the exclusive story of how Mikel Arteta finally transformed the Gunners into winners. Written by the Daily Mail's award-winning Arsenal correspondent, Isaan Khan, the book reveals how Arteta got the club over the line after more than six years of toil and setbacks. Covering Arsenal day to day over the tumultuous and historic 2025-26 season, Khan witnessed their efforts both on and off the field. He offers an unprecedented insight into Arteta's leadership, from ruthlessly discarding big egos early in his reign and navigating fan unrest in private to candid talks with co-chair Josh Kroenke and the hidden moments he shared with players behind closed doors. Drawing on conversations from inside the training ground, Khan also explains what's really behind Arsenal's attacking play, including the team's mastery of set-pieces and a back line drilled to obsessive detail. Here is the definitive account of a tenure that returned Arsenal to the summit of world football, from nearly-men to champions. Authoritative, celebratory and packed with detail from key sources, 22 Years takes readers inside the Emirates like never before. Autorid: Isaan Khan
