Arsenal 'want more' this season as they look to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title again, says boss Mikel Arteta.
Mikel Arteta says Arsenal's players have told him they "want more" this season as they look to deny Manchester City a fifth consecutive Premier League title.
On the evening after the final match of last season against Everton, Arteta and Arsenal held a gathering in central London that was attended by owner and co-chairman Josh Kroenke, players with their families and club staff. "We are really excited," he said. "We've been missing the competition for many weeks, too long for us."We had a really challenging pre-season. The team has looked really sharp, really at it and desperate to play."No teams in the Premier League have been able to improve their points tally in five consecutive seasons, but that may be what Arsenal need to achieve to become champions for the first time since 2004.
