Arsenal defender, David Luiz has come out to say that his team can challenge for the Premier League title this season.
The London club is yet to win the EPL title since 2004 and have finished outside the Premier League’s top four in each of the last three seasons.
They are presently 3rd in the table after eight games and sit nine points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a perfect record.
Arsenal might have struggled to fight for the big prize over the last 15 years, however, Luiz feels the club must have faith that they can narrow this gap before the season is over.
His words, “For me, if you start something, and we’ve just started the Premier League and all of the competitions, if you don’t think you can win the competition then you won’t start anything in your life,”
“I want to win titles with Arsenal. I want to improve and adapt myself for the style of Arsenal, as a club and how the manager wants us to play. I think we can do that together.
“My vision, my ambition and my will is always to fight for the title and between the club, the players and the coach, we have the possibility to fight for the title. I think this club deserves to shine again.”
“I think Unai is working very well with the plan to defend and then the plan to attack,”
“I always say defending starts with the strikers and through the whole team, and you can see with modern football that the goalkeeper is now like a No 6.
“We are going to try and improve, we are already doing well and the last few games have showed that we are stronger in a defensive way. I want this club to improve in every part of the game.
“I think we’ve started really well and we just lost one game in the Premier League. I think the team is improving and now we are in third in the table but we want to finish this season fighting for the title.”
