Wenger has now won the Premiership twice in three years

The champions have four more matches to maintain their astonishing run of form.

"To win the league itself is a tremendous achievement, but to go through it unbeaten has never been done before and may never be done again.

"They are an extremely talented squad which has further to go," Dein told BBC Radio Five Live.

Dein has no doubt that much of the credit for what he describes as "a magical ride" should be given to manager Arsene Wenger.

"Under Arsene we have won the Premiership title three times in seven years," he added.

"I think that means he is, unquestionably, the most successful Arsenal manager.

We want to win and win with style - we have achieved that this season Arsene Wenger More Arsenal reaction

"Arsene is highly intelligent, a great tactician, has an extreme knowledge of players from around the world and one of his main skills is of course his man-management.

"It's the most exciting and most talented Arsenal side and this season has been a marvellous journey, they have been a joy to watch.

"That deserves all credit to Arsene, his coaching staff, his medical staff and, obviously, all the players.

"The team spirit has been exceptional and it has been a privilege to watch such breath-taking football all season."

Arsenal have faced growing calls to prove themselves in Europe, and while it remains a priority for next season, Dein is happy to bask in the glow of success for the time being.

"Many fans, who are indeed not Arsenal fans, will tell you that we have played the prettiest football that one could see.

"Europe in a way is a bonus to winning the league and lets not under-estimate winning the league.

"We'd like to win in Europe but that's easier said than done as we found out this year."
