“On the last day [of the season], we had a gathering together with all the club players and they were coming to me and saying: ‘We are going to do it next year, we are going to be better, we want more.’ And when you see that you accept they’re the ones driving that ambition so that’s always possible,” said Arteta to reporters in the pregame press conference.
“It’s like you’re trying to climb the highest mountain. It’s the most difficult league in the world and you feel surrounded by a lot of people who have the same ambition every single day to achieve it. We’re certainly going to try,” he said.
Arsenal will begin their campaign against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday and will aim to better their performance from the previous season which saw them set the record for most points accumulated by the club in a season.
