Arsenal wing-back Oleks Zinchenko says his teammates have surprised themselves this season.

The Gunners are five points clear at the top of the Premier League table, with summer signing Zinchenko a big influence.

The former Manchester City utility recalled: "To be honest, when I first arrived, I saw the quality.

"Of course I knew the Arsenal team, I knew them all before, but still I understood that on the pitch we have everything to do great things. I started talking in the dressing room, saying: 'Guys, forget the top three or anything, we have to think about the title'.

"Some of them were laughing but nobody is laughing now and we are all dreaming.

"But there are still many games to play and now you can see that United are back. City, as always, are there. Let's see what happens, but we have to move step by step."
