'Top four and some trophies' - Holding outlines Arsenal's ambition in Emery's debut campaign

The Gunners are hoping to see a first season under a new management team deliver Champions League qualification and major silverware

Arsenal’s ambition during Unai Emery’s first season as boss sees them chasing down “top four with some trophies”, says Rob Holding.

The Gunners slipped out of Champions League contention towards the end of Arsene Wenger’s iconic reign, with the Frenchman unable to deliver elite European competition in his last two seasons.

Emery has been charged with the task of forcing Arsenal back into that pack, while challenges for domestic silverware are always expected in north London – with the club having enjoyed considerable success in the FA Cup over recent years.
