Despite defeat at Leicester City, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists they can be title challengers next season.

Wenger leaves the club when the campaign concludes this weekend.

He insisted: “If you look at our season we have championship-winning home form and away from home we have the consequences of many things.

“A lack of confidence causes a few bad results and after that we neglected some games because we were in the Europa League.

“But the quality is there and the spirit is exceptional.

“I think if the team get one or two good away results next year they will play for the Premier League next season, I am convinced.

“There is something in special in that team that will come out next season and I am convinced Arsenal will be one of the contenders next year."
