Arsenal news: Arsene Wenger confident of title challenge after overcoming Jose

The England forward says Arsene Wenger’s side are also looking to be competitive in the Champions League after disappointing last season. “We have a great team, so we are just excited about what this season can bring for us”.

Santi Cazorla has expressed his delight after signing a new two-year-deal at Arsenal, as announced by the club on Friday (31 July 2015), while claiming that he never considered leaving the Emirates Stadium – despite reports in his homeland suggesting the opposite.

However, Community Shield winners don’t have the best recent record in terms of doubling up with a league success.

Wenger hasn’t given any indication that he’s looking to buy anyone else, so the looming question among fans is: Will Cech’s arrival be enough to win a Premier League or Champions League title?

Wednesday will be Chelsea’s last chance to prepare ahead of the new season and Cahill is ready for the challenge of defending the title, “People talk and talk but the bottom line is when the season starts”.

The 1934/35 season is one in question when the Gunners triumphed 4-0 against Man City at Highbury, with Drake among the scorers. “When you see them walk up, no matter if it’s a friendly or a Community Shield, it’s a trophy at the end of the day”.

Having ended the last two seasons lifting FA Cup silverware, Wenger has now started this campaign with an additional three pieces.

Swansea City will travel to Stamford Bridge for Saturday’s Premier League opener.

Ramsey revealed that Wenger believes a more cautious approach, which they adopted to close out the Chelsea match – prompting Mourinho to criticise Arsenal for abandoning their attacking philosophy – is the key to defeating the big guns. We have experience in the squad, we have the character.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has an on-going feud with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. “It is quite frustrating for a manager to be pushed in his technical area and to see the opposite manager stay in his position, not being punished, so I agree totally with that”.

I’m predicting the top four will remain the same, but the order will be different. But obviously in such a short squad like we have, then when somebody is missing I am not happy. We still have another week of that before we get down to business.
