Laurent Koscielny: Arsenal WILL be title challengers

Laurent Koscielny insists Arsenal will be title contenders this season.

The Gunners drew 0-0 at champions Leicester on Saturday and remain winless after the opening two Premier League games.

Travelling fans again turned on Arsene Wenger and urged him to spend as the toothless visitors struggled to create clear chances.

But defender Koscielny insisted the Gunners, runners-up to Leicester last season, will battle for the Premier League crown as they hunt their first title since 2004.

"Always. We are Arsenal - we fight for the title. Every game we play we want to win the game," he said.

"This season will be very difficult because of the top clubs spending a lot of money on transfers, it's unbelievable. But sometimes the collective can be better than individual players. So we want to keep our philosophy and play football."
