The wait is over: Arsenal are Premier League Champions. Now you can listen to the exclusive story.


For two decades, Arsenal Football Club was weighed down by under-achievement and internal friction. But under the visionary leadership of Mikel Arteta, the club has shed its bad apples, forged an unbreakable collective spirit and turned the Emirates Stadium into a fortress once more. Now, the ultimate prize has finally returned to North London.

Taking listeners deep inside the pulse-pounding 2025/26 campaign, award-winning The Daily Telegraph correspondent Sam Dean explores the astonishing seven-year project that transformed a club in chaos into an unstoppable title-winning machine. With unparalleled access to the dressing room, Dean charts every defining moment of the Arteta era – from the ruthless defenestration of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the brilliant integration of Hale End academy stars, to the high-stakes £270M recruitment drive that finally pushed them over the finish line.

Gripping, authoritative and packed with insider accounts, Arsenal is the definitive story of a footballing giant waking up. It is an essential, must-have listen to celebrate the Gunners’ spectacular return to the apex of global football.
