New Arsenal Star Insists Club Are Gunning For Title
New Arsenal star Lukas Podolski has fired a warning to the Premier League's big guns, by insisting that they will mount a challenge for honours this season.
Podolski, who joined Arsenal at the
beginning of the summer, will line up alongside French international
Olivier Giroud and Spanish playmaker Santi Cazorla in a new look side,
with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger looking to end seven trophyless years.
The last trophy Arsenal won was the F.A.
Cup in 2005, winning a nervy penalty shoot-out victory over Manchester
United, and former FC Koln hotshot Podolski believes they are now suited
to end that disappointing run.
Speaking to the Mirror,
he said: “The Premier League has five or six teams who can play for the
title - and we are one of them. We really want to win this trophy.”
The 27 year-old, who managed bagged 18
league goals in 29 appearances for Koln last season, has hit the ground
running during Arsenal's pre-season campaign, and he is looking to
continue in that vein, starting this weekend when the Premier League
gets under way again.
“I hope I can score a lot of goals and make some assists to help the club in the Premier League,” he said.
