‘Arsenal must aim to win the Premier League

The former Cameroon international defender speaks exclusively to Goal ahead of the start of the new Premier League season
It has been 16 years now since Arsenal last lifted the Premier League title.
That triumph in 2004, sealed by Arsene Wenger’s Invincibles, is one that is steeped in history and one that, at times during the past decade, has felt like a distant memory.
But one of the men who was key to that success believes that the Gunners are now finally beginning to show signs of coming back to life under Mikel Arteta.
Winning the FA Cup in August was the start, but as Arteta’s side prepare for their Premier League opener at Fulham on Saturday, Arsenal legend Lauren believes that the ambitions at his former club should be even higher this season.
“The target is to fight for everything,” the two-time Premier League winner tells Goal in an exclusive interview.
“They’ve got the quality and now they have the belief that they can beat anyone. They can beat Liverpool, they can beat [Manchester] City, they can win trophies, the FA Cup, the Community Shield.
“So the target is not to be top four. In my opinion, the target is to start the season with the mentality to win everything.”
The former Cameroon international adds: “So far Arteta has been brilliant. He managed to qualify the team for Europe, he won the FA Cup and the Community Shield against big teams. And you can see the style of play. This is what I love.
“Play from the back with a good passing game, dominate matches with possession and have a good transition at the end. This has always been Arsenal. This is the Arsenal way.”
