Bukayo Saka has insisted Arsenal are “not scared” of the pressure that comes with attempting to win the club’s first Premier League title in 20 years.
Arsenal have fallen just short in the last two seasons, finishing second to Manchester City on both occasions.
Saka played a key part in both of those campaigns and is determined to lift a major trophy with his boyhood club. He told BBC Sport the side are enjoying the challenge in front of them.
“We’re not scared. The last two seasons we’ve competed for the league and come very close,” Saka said.
“We’re also back in the Champions League, we have some experience there now, so we feel we’re ready to compete for every trophy.
“We really want to take that next step and try to win something.”
Saka, who has also suffered heartbreak at the last hurdle with England in two European Championship finals, said past failures are spurring him on to reach success in the near future.
