Lukas Podolski believes Arsenal fans can be excited about the potential of manager Mikel Arteta work.

The World Cup winner has been impressed by the early impact of Arteta's leadership, but insists with the size of the club that the new manager simply has to get them challenging for the game's biggest honours again.

Speaking to Arsenal legend Ian Wright in a YouTube video for Adidas, Podolski said: "Yeah I see it, like you explained, the level going up depends on running, fighting spirit.

"You see there's more of a team on the pitch [under Arteta].

"With the fans, Arsenal is like one of the big five teams in the world.

"With this potential, we have to play every year Champions League and fight for the title, every year.

"We have to invest and I hope Mikel with his team around are doing a great job for next season."
