‘We’re on the same page: focused and determined'

Mikel Arteta says the entire Arsenal squad are on the same page as they look to attack the run-in to the season and achieve a top-four place.

We’re back in action after our mid-season break when we take on Wolves at Molineux on Thursday, and the boss is confident we have what it takes to finish strongly.

“Some of the things we have discussed are how are we going to approach the last 17 games, what we need to do to accomplish our objectives,” Arteta said.

“The most important thing is that we are all on the same page: focused and determined, with the right belief and going game by game. [We’re focusing on] what we have to do daily and the habits we need to instil to get the level of performance that we need to win as much as possible.

“I trust the players, the quality that we have, the spirit, the togetherness that we have around the team and we can achieve what we want.

“We are going to need a high level of performances, we'll need our supporters on board - that will be so key - and we are going to have a real go. But again, we can only go game-by-game.”
