Former Arsenal player, Lauren has tipped his old club to win the Premier League designation this season.
The Gunners, who last won the league crown in 2004, culminated penultimate term and are aiming to go one further in one of the most open designation races in recent recollection this season.
Arsenal have been refrained in their quest to win the league in recent years by stuttering form in November, but Arsene Wenger's men evaded losing a league game during the month this time around.
Lauren admits he was surprised his former paymasters managed to culminate their November hoodoo, but verbally expresses it is proof that Arsenal have learnt from past mistakes and can go all the way in 2016-17.
“I was surprised that Arsenal managed to go through the month of November without defeat and this shows that the team is now growing in confidence and notion,” Lauren told Goal in Kenya.
“I cerebrate they have now learnt from past mistakes and I am convinced they stand a chance of winning the designation.
“If you optically canvass the top, Chelsea have a three-point lead that can be reduced any time. I don’t cerebrate it is an immensely colossal gap for Arsenal and those chasing from behind.”Lauren, who was a component of the Gunners’ designation-winning ‘Invincibles’ squad in 2004, has withal showered accolade on the team’s current starting eleven, singling out Shkodran Mustafi, Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for individual accolade.
He integrated: “Look at Sanchez; he is playing on top of his game. I relish his timing in front of goal as well as his dedication towards the team. He reminds me of Thierry Henry. “That is identically tantamount to Mustafi, who has composed a good partnership with Laurent Koscielny.
"Ozil is a class above and you can optically discern he always plays to get a good result and Chamberlain has made a great amendment as compared to last season.”
Arsenal, who recently qualified for the Champions League knockout stages as Group A victors, will be looking to close the gap on league bellwethers Chelsea when they face Stoke City this weekend.
