Francis Coquelin is ready to fight for his place at Arsenal.

Coquelin insists he can handle competition in the Arsenal midfield after the arrival of Mohamed Elneny and Granit Xhaka in 2016.

“We are Arsenal Football Club and there will always be great quality in the squad so you have to be ready for a fight.

“It's good for me to improve my game and give even more in training and in the game. It can only improve the whole squad."
