Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette insists a top four finish was always their target this season.

The France international, who has eight goals this season, insists returning to the Champions League was always Arsenal's main aim this year.

"It would be really complicated to win it at this point," the 26-year-old said when asked about a potential tilt at the title.

"We would really need a miracle. City would need to lose a lot of their games and we know their record.

“But the goal in coming here was always to qualify for the Champions League and if we could get the title, fantastic."
