Wenger insists Arsenal can still make top four

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says they're not giving up on finishing in the top four this season.

With the Gunners eight points behind fourth-place Chelsea, winning the Europa League appears to be their best route back into Europe's premier competition.

However, the Frenchman admits his preferred route would be to qualify by finishing in the top four.

Speaking ahead of their Europa League Round of 32 second leg clash with Ostersunds, he said: "It is one of the priorities that we have but there is a long way to go.

"We will focus to do well but ideally we want to go back to the Champions league through the Premier League."
