Pires makes bold prediction about the rest of Arsenal season
Arsenal great Robert Pires says Unai Emery can end his first season in England with a top four finish AND the Europa League trophy.
The Gunners are currently embroiled in a four-way battle for a top-four finish along with Tottenham , Manchester United and Chelsea .
While Emery has also led them to the last eight of the Europa League, where they’ll play Napoli.
And Pires has high hopes.
“I think Unai Emery is a good manager, he’s won some titles with Sevilla, with Paris Saint-Germain,’ the Gunners Invincible told ESPN, via Metro .
“For the end of the season, he has two targets: to reach the top four and – why not? – to win the Europa League competition.
“That’s why Arsenal are in a very good way and that’s why I’m very confident and very positive always when I talk about Arsenal.
“I think they can reach both targets. Of course it will be very difficult, but the squad is very good, we have good quality.
“All the players now they are very confident, especially Mesut Ozil – because he is one of the best players in the Premier League.
“So that’s why Unai Emery, the squad, they are very confident for the two targets: the top four and why not lift the [Europa League] trophy?”
