We have the quality and talent but top four will be tough – Arsenal’s Arteta

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta believes it will be difficult to push into the top four by the end of the season.

The Gunners fell to seventh courtesy of last night’s scoreless draw at Bolton and the Spaniard knows it will be a big ask to haul in the likes of Chelsea, Newcastle United and Liverpool although he is remaining positive.

"It is going to be tough to finish in the top four but it depends on us," Arteta told the club's official website.

"We have got the talent and the quality in the side to do it but we have to show it day by day. I am confident because we train together every day and I know how good we are but we have to show it every day, not every two or three weeks.

"I am sure that Chelsea will start a good run and we have to do the same and win games like we did a month ago. But I am still positive - there are still a lot of games to play and hopefully we can get that done."

Correction .....there is NOT the quality and talent at Arsenal and wont be until Wegner is replaced by a person who recognises that times are changing and there has to be a new era in the Arsenal story.

"It is a signal to our youth: if you 're good, they'll find you." tru talk Leekens.
