Cazorla: Arsenal want the Premier League or Champions League next season

Arsenalmidfielder Santi Cazorla wants the Gunners to build on their FA Cup triumph by winning the Premier League or the Champions League next season.
Arsene Wenger’s side ended their nine-year run without a trophy by beating Hull at Wembley in May and have made a splash in the summer transfer window by signing Alexis Sanchez.

With the likes of Mathieu Debuchy and Sami Khedira also linked with a move to north London, Cazorla is confident Arsenal can hit new heights in 2014-15.
“We hope to win more trophies - I want to win the Premier League or Champions League,” he said at the launch of the club’s new PUMA kits.
“Of course we can win. We have a good team and with the support of the fans it's important for us.
“We have high expectations to go better than last year. We won a trophy last year and we want to do it again. Hopefully we'll make some great signings to support the squad and if so, it'll be good.”
The Spaniard hopes the Gunners’ chances will be boosted by the returns to fitness of Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey, who both missed spells of last season due to injury.
“I'm very happy to have Ozil next to me,” Cazorla said. “We have a very special relationship. He makes it very easy for me. Obviously he'll help the team to improve next season.
“It wasn’t a surprise to see Ramsey developing into his role - I trained for two years with him and saw him develop. He’s a great player and we have big expectations for him.
“We had a couple of injuries and it was hard to keep up with Manchester City but we have a stronger squad and deeper team now, with more players to use, and hopefully not as many injuries individually.”
Arsenal will have to do without right-back Bacary Sagna, however, who has moved to Manchester City after seven years at the Emirates Stadium.
They also passed up the chance to bring Cesc Fabregas back to the club for whom he made his first-team debut, with Cazorla’s compatriot signing instead for rivals Chelsea.
“Obviously he’s is a big loss,” Cazorla added of Sagna. “He was a very important player on and off the pitch, a quality player who did a lot for us. But I hope that we can replace him effectively.
“It’s strange [to see Fabregas join Chelsea]. He's of Arsenal, but in football you can play for other teams. It's an opportunity for him and I'm happy for him.”
