Cazorla: Arsenal want the Premier League or Champions League next season

Arsenal midfielder Santi
Cazorla wants the Gunners
to build on their FA Cup
triumph by winning the Premier League or the
Champions League next season.
Arsene Wenger’s side ended their nine-year run
without a trophy by beating Hull at Wembley in May
and have made a splash in the summer transfer
window by signing Alexis Sanchez.
With the likes of Mathieu Debuchy and Sami Khedira
also linked with a move to north London, Cazorla is
confident Arsenal can hit new heights in 2014-15.
“We hope to win more trophies - I want to win the
Premier League or Champions League,” he said at
the launch of the club’s new PUMA kits.
“Of course we can win. We have a good team and
with the support of the fans it's important for us.
“We have high expectations to go better than last
year. We won a trophy last year and we want to do
it again. Hopefully we'll make some great signings
to support the squad and if so, it'll be good.”
The Spaniard hopes the Gunners’ chances will be
boosted by the returns to fitness of Mesut Ozil and
Aaron Ramsey, who both missed spells of last
season due to injury.
“I'm very happy to have Ozil next to me,” Cazorla
said. “We have a very special relationship. He
makes it very easy for me. Obviously he'll help the
team to improve next season.
“It wasn’t a surprise to see Ramsey developing into
his role - I trained for two years with him and saw
him develop. He’s a great player and we have big
expectations for him.
“We had a couple of injuries and it was hard to
keep up with Manchester City but we have a
stronger squad and deeper team now, with more
players to use, and hopefully not as many injuries
individually.”
Arsenal will have to do without right-back Bacary
Sagna, however, who has moved to Manchester City
after seven years at the Emirates Stadium.
They also passed up the chance to bring Cesc
Fabregas back to the club for whom he made his
first-team debut, with Cazorla’s compatriot signing
instead for rivals Chelsea.
“Obviously he’s is a big loss,” Cazorla added of
Sagna. “He was a very important player on and off
the pitch, a quality player who did a lot for us. But I
hope that we can replace him effectively.
“It’s strange [to see Fabregas join Chelsea]. He's of
Arsenal, but in football you can play for other
teams. It's an opportunity for him and I'm happy
for him.”
