Xhaka adamant top four finish within Arsenal grasp

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka is adamant a top four finish is within their grasp.

The Gunners have a double chance of qualification, if they can either finish in the Premier League top four, or win the Europa League.

Xhaka told FOX Sports Radio: "For me: To qualify for the Champions League, win some silverware and further enhance Arsenal as a proper force to be reckoned with – I know my teammates think the same."

Manager Unai Emery has administered plenty of changes at the Emirates, and Xhaka says the club are now seeing the benefit.

"I'm very pleased to see how all our hard work and extra training sessions are starting to pay off and we haven't lost a game as a result ever since," he said.

"We've been making solid progress over the past few months, both as a team and as individual players which keeps our confidence levels at the club.

"Knowing that we have a lot of young talent who can compete in the UEFA Europa League provides additional depth to our squad which is gives us an additional advantage.

"We're definitely going in the right direction and we'll keep up the hard work."
