West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola insists they can handle qualification for the Europa League next season.
"This is a very ambitious club. West Ham has a good platform to build up something important for the future," he said.
"We want to build it slowly and with attention. We are not big spenders but we spend the money wisely and we work hard to make it happen.
"Arsenal was one of the models this club was looking at. It is what we want to do. I think it is working OK at the moment and we want to improve. Certainly Arsenal is a team I admire very much and to do what they do is something we would like to do.
"It is going to be very difficult to be a monster like Manchester United or Arsenal because we don't have the possibilities.
"We want to build something differently. Maybe it will be a longer-term project but one day we want to be competing with those teams."
