Swansea loanee Charlie Patino recognises the battle he has to make it in Arsenal's midfield.
Patino retains hope of eventually making it with the Gunners.
"All the midfielders have great quality — you're bringing a Champions League winner in Jorginho off the bench if needed," he told the Daily Mail.
"I think the strength and depth is really important. You can see the likes of Man City have that, so for Arsenal to have that as well they can be real title contenders."
Patino adds: "Everyone's journey is different. Bukayo went straight from academy to first team, Eddie went on a few loans, Emile went on a few loans, so everyone's journey is different.
"But ultimately, it's about getting to where you want to get to, and that's the same for me. I want to play in the first team at Arsenal and being here is a massive pathway to help me do that."
