<P> For the following season , Arsenal gradually progressed upon their league form , eventually becoming runners - up in 2016 . In order to capture that ever - elusive Premier League title for the first time in 12 years , the club spent heavily in the transfer market in the summer of 2016 , spending over £ 80 million on four first - team acquisitions , namely capturing Shkodran Mustafi and Granit Xhaka , who operate as a central defender and central midfielder , respectively . Both positions were long deemed problem positions in the team , with the hope Arsenal could push on and win the league after signing the pair . However , poor league form saw Arsenal competing heavily for the final UEFA Champions League space , having taken a race with Liverpool and Manchester City to the final day of the season . Despite winning 3 - 1 against Everton , results elsewhere meant they only finished fifth , missing out on a Champions League spot for the first time in two decades , and the first ever under Wenger . However , Arsenal won the FA Cup Final 2 - 1 against Chelsea , making it their third win in four seasons , and made them the most successful club in the history of the competition . </P>
