Arsenal not far away from EPL title, says Wenger
London: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has made it clear that his team is aiming to win the English Premier League (EPL) this season, adding they are not “far away” from delivering a first title since 2004.
Arsenal finished third in 2014-15, 12 points behind eventual champions Chelsea and ended the season strongly as they lifted the FA Cup for a second consecutive year.
Arsenal have so far signed goalkeeper Petr Cech as they prepare for the upcoming campaign and the Frenchman feels the current squad is well-equipped to mount a serious assault on the league’s summit.
“The title is our target and we feel we have a chance in a very competitive league. We are not far away,” Wenger was quoted as saying by goal.com on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Wenger has confirmed that striker Yaya Sanogo will leave the club on loan this season, with Ajax Amsterdam closing in on securing the Frenchman’s signature.
“He will go on loan, I believe he needs to play. He’s ready and he’ll get an opportunity to play in the Champions League,” Wenger said.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
