Gervinho
says there is a real sense of belief among Arsenal’s players about the
season ahead - and he is confident they will soon end their wait for
silverware.
Arsène Wenger’s side were held to a goalless draw by
Sunderland on Saturday, but that has done little to dent the optimism
within the squad.
Gervinho
is delighted with the way the team is shaping up after a busy summer in
the transfer market and says it bodes well for the campaign ahead.
“There's
great belief that we can contend for trophies,” the Ivorian told
Arsenal Player. “This is important, not only for the players, but also
for the Club in general.
“There is real hope that we can bring
trophies to Arsenal. Every player is conscious of this and we're going
to do all we can to achieve it this season.
“We've had a few
changes at the Club and there's a good spirit among the group - we're
all enjoying playing together. Everyone is happy and it goes without
saying that the group is up for having a good season.”
Wenger now has wealth of attacking options following the signings of Lukas Podolski, Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud, and Gervinho says that could prove crucial this term.
“I know Olivier Giroud
personally from the French league,” he said. “He's a good striker, he's
really impressed me and has made a good impression generally.
“These new signings will help us move on and I think they are a good set of strikers.
“We've
got lots of options in attack, but every team is different, every team
has it's own players and every team has got it's own qualities up front.
“But
the most important thing is that we've got a good strikeforce, we have
to concentrate on ourselves, take care of our own business and I think
that our attacking options can really make a difference this year.”
