​Emery lauds 'quality' of Arsenal squad; title challenge...?

Arsenal manager Unai Emery says that he is very impressed by the quality of the Arsenal squad.

Emery is taking charge for the coming season following the departure of Arsene Wenger after 22 seasons.

Gunners fans will be hoping he can lead the team back into the UEFA Champions League places.

When asked about what he has learned so far, Emery said in his press conference:

"First, they are working very hard. They are working with the ambition that I want. I think the quality is high here, and I think together we will work with this quality and the details in the tactics.

"They will go with my ideas and work with my ideas every day, and this will help them to do these things on the pitch."

And when questioned on his belief in a title challenge, he said:

"Let's go step by step. We need to do it this way, working and thinking with our minds. For me, the position is for the team to get better day by day, and we plan for the first match against Manchester City."
