Bournemouth striker Benik Afobe has claimed that Arsenal will struggle to see their Premier League title charge through to the end.

The Gunners are currently third in the table, five points adrift of leaders Leicester City.

At the weekend, Arsene Wenger's side sealed a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth, which was their first triumph in five league fixtures.

Afobe, who left the North London outfit in 2015, believes that Arsenal will slip out of contention.

"It would be great if Arsenal win the title but it has been the same story every year," The Mirror quotes Afobe as saying. "This is the time of the season when they normally fall behind and start losing games they should be winning.

"They obviously have a lot of world-class players and I have only good things to say about them, but there are a lot of fantastic teams fighting them for the title this year and also a lot of teams no-one believed could be in the race."

Afobe spent five years of his senior career at Arsenal.
