Arsenal managing director Vinai Venkatesham says winning silverware is the club's main aim.

Indeed, he insists he wouldn't be in the job if there wasn't a winning culture inside the club.

He said, “This is a club that hasn't won the Premier League for a long time and hasn't won the Champions League. I understand. And I do know the only way we're going to be able to answer the questions is by having the Premier League or Champions League trophy here.

“All I can tell you is, I believe we can get there. But I'll only be able to prove that to you when the trophies are on the table.

“Ultimately at Arsenal what we're trying to do is make all of our fans around the world proud of their club. We do that most effectively by winning, but winning our way. That means winning matches and trophies.

“And clearly the trophies we want to more than anything else are the Premier League and Champions League.

“I wouldn't want this job and I wouldn't want to be working for a football club like Arsenal if I didn't think we could get back to where we need to be. That is not me saying it is going to be easy, it is going to be tough and it is tough for all of the top clubs."
