Bukayo Saka agrees with Stan Kroenke as he outlines plans for Arsenal

Bukayo Saka is in agreement with Stan Kroenke that this Arsenal side are capable of winning silverware.

The Gunners owner penned an open letter to fans ahead of their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea last month as he claimed that the north London club are moving in the direction of competing for trophies after spending £150million in the summer to revamp the squad.

The promise was met with a lot of skepticism after Arsenal lost their first three Premier League games and were sitting bottom of the table.

But they have been able to respond with three consecutive victories, including an impressive 3-1 win over rivals Tottenham on derby day.

And Bukayo Saka, who got on the scoresheet against Spurs, seems to hold the same opinion as Kroenke.

Kroenke wrote at the time: "We know there is much work ahead to get back to where we need to be but are confident about what can be achieved by this great club and our people.

"We are building a squad, rich in young talent, much of it developed through our wonderful academy.

Yes, there are many challenges ahead, but with your support and encouragement, we are confident we will return to competing for and winning the game's biggest trophies.”

Saka was speaking after the demolition of Spurs and insists there is no reason why Mikel Arteta's men can't go on to win trophies if they continue to play as they did at the Emirates on Sunday.

The England rising star said: “We can achieve anything, no matter what age. With age comes experience but we have a lot of experience in this squad anyway which helps us.

“We have a lot of quality and enough experience to achieve a lot. We’re going to take it game by game but if we play like this we have enough quality to win trophies.”
