Arteta insists he can handle expectations being an Arsenal player

Former Everton midfielder Mikel Arteta says he's ready to meet the higher expectations at Arsenal.

The Gunners are used to expectations but new signing Arteta says the team should accept and embrace them in their quest for silverware.

"With a club like Arsenal, you are going to be under pressure and you need to handle it and try your best," he told arsenal.com. "At every club I have been at, I have had pressure and this is not going to be different.

"But being under pressure is good because it means people expect something from you.

"The challenge here is to win trophies and at Everton I didn't have the chance to do that. Hopefully we are going to have it here and we can make it."
