Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna is confident that his side has what it takes to win the Premier League next season.

The Gunners haven't won the title since going an entire campaign unbeaten nine years ago, and only secured a place in the top four on the final day last term.

However, the Frenchman believes that the North London outfit's phenomenal form in their last 10 games proves that they can mount a serious challenge for the English top-flight crown.

"I truly believe we can be champions or else I wouldn't be playing football," Sagna told Gulf News. "I would have gone already. I truly believe we can succeed with the team we have.

"I strongly believe we have the quality to be the best in the Premier League. Look at the end of last season, when we got 26 points from a possible 30. Not a lot of teams can do this and this is what makes me believe we can beat anyone.

"What we managed last season can be done only by a true team with a great team spirit. I believe we can achieve a lot more."

Sagna also revealed that he is in talks with Arsenal over a contract extension.
