Aaron Ramsey is targeting a title challenge

Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey believes that the Gunners can challenge for major honours next season.

The north Londoners picked up just seven points out of 21 in the early part of the season but ended strongly to finish third.

“I’m convinced we can do well in the new season,” he told Arsenal.com.

“The important thing is to get off to a better start than we did last year. If we do that and get ourselves into the mix, we can compete for trophies.

“We had a fantastic run from February onwards to get into that top three - even though a lot of people doubted us. We showed character to do that, we showed how determined we are to do well. This time we want to get off to a strong start and if we do we can have an exciting season.”
