Abou Diaby admits Arsenal's players have ambitions of winning the Champions League this season.

The midfielder told the Evening Standard: "We talk about winning the Champions League.

"Arsenal are a big club and deserve to win a big title like the Champions League and as a player you want to win that trophy as well so it's in our mind.
