Vermaelen: Arsenal players want to win FA Cup for Wenger

Arsenal captain Thomas Vermaelen says the players want to win the FA Cup for manager Arsene Wenger.

Victory over Hull City at Wembley would give Wenger a first success since 2005.

Vermaelen said: "We want to win it for him, for the players and for the fans.

"There's been a lot of talk about us not winning, and we're doing it all together as a club and for him as well.

"It would give us a massive boost for the next few years. There's loads of potential in this team, a lot of good players, and it would give them confidence for the following years.

"We're used to the pressure - every game has to be won. There's been a lot of talk about not winning for nine years and there's a lot at stake, but we go with a lot of confidence."
