Jose Mourinho agrees that Arsenal are four signings away from becoming "Invicibles" again following Thierry Henry's assessment of his former side.
The former striker said on Monday that Arsene Wenger needed four "top-quality" arrivals to challenge the likes of Chelsea for the Premier League title, which has evaded them since the unbeaten triumph of 2003-04.
Victories
for Chelsea over Leicester City and Crystal Palace will clinch
Chelsea's first league crown since 2010, having led the charge all
season, but Mourinho feels talk of domination is premature.
"It's
even more difficult to dominate than before," he told reporters. "How
can you speak about domination when everyone knows what will happen next
summer?
"Arsenal have a phenomenal squad. Thierry Henry said
they need four top-class players but give to Arsenal four top-class
players and I think they will again be The Invincibles."
Mourinho
also noted the strength of the chasing pack, adding that Manchester
United, Liverpool and Manchester City will only further strengthen in
the summer after underwhelming seasons.
He added: "Manchester
United have a phenomenal squad, including the most expensive player in
the history of the Premier League, Angel Di Maria, who is not even
playing.
"That shows the quality of the squad. They are a club
where Financial Fair Play doesn't make a big difference and they will
invest hugely again in the summer.
"City have done phenomenally
well, winning two titles in three years and people say they will invest
hugely again. Liverpool can be fighting for the title, too.
"It
will be even more difficult for everyone than this year. It's very
difficult for a team to be dominant. This is not Germany with Bayern
Munich. Not Switzerland with Basel. Not Scotland with Celtic. It's very
difficult."
