Danny Welbeck backs Arsenal to challenge for Premier League glory next season

Danny Welbeck is confident that Arsenal can challenge for the Premier League title next season following a strong finish to the recent campaign.

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck is confident that he and his teammates are capable of snatching the Premier League crown off Chelsea next season.

The Gunners had a strong end to the campaign by finishing third and retaining the FA Cup with a 4-0 win over Aston Villa in the final at Wembley last month.

Arsene Wenger's side finished 12 points behind champions Chelsea, but Welbeck believes that the club can clinch their first league title since 2004.

"We definitely want to push on as a club," the Daily Mail quotes Welbeck as saying. "With the players we have got, there is no reason why we should not be up there challenging for the Premier League - it is something which is within our ambitions as a team.

"Our slow start at the beginning of the season cost us in May, and when we look back on the points we should have got, then we would have been right up there."

Welbeck signed for Arsenal from Manchester United for a reported £16m fee last year.
