Arsenal Should Be Challenging For Titles, Not Just A Top-Four Spot – David Luiz

David Luiz believes Arsenal should be fighting for titles and not just a top-four spot.

The defender arrived at the Emirates on an £8m transfer from Chelsea last summer and has been a cemented starter in the first team.

“What I can say about Arsenal is that we have the opportunity to make this club shine again,” Luiz told Sky Sports. “How? Working hard and winning titles. This has to be the mentality.

“I don’t like to start something and just be ‘let’s fight for the top four’ or ‘our team wants to win just one cup’. No. My team, when I see the players and the club, when I see the supporters and the vibe, this club has the opportunity to fight for everything. It is my oxygen every day, I want to fight.”

Arsenal are far off from challenging for the Premier League title. They currently sit in the fifth spot after last Monday’s embarrassing 1-0 defeat against Sheffield United.

“In England, I have won everything. In France also. Portugal as well,” the Brazilian continued. “To have a reputation or not, people can say what they want to. I respect them but if you take my numbers and my statistics, I have won more than others.”
