Mesut Ozil: 'Arsenal can win title'

Mesut Ozil has claimed that Arsenal can win the Premier League this season.

The Gunners flashed their title credentials prior to the international break with a morale-boosting 3-0 win over Manchester United, with Ozil and a brace from Alexis Sanchez doing the damage in a rip-roaring first 20 minutes.

Arsene Wenger's side, whose last league crown came in 2004, moved two points behind leaders Manchester City, and the ex-Real Madrid star is convinced that they can end 12 years of hurt come May.

"We have a great team with a lot of world-class players," the German told Bild.

"Our goal is to win the Premier League title. I think we can achieve it this season if we do not get any major injuries. But the season is still long."

The North Londoners face top-flight new boys Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday evening.
