Mikel Arteta is refusing to give up on the prospect of Arsenal finishing in the Premier League’s top four this season.

The north London side have struggled to find consistent form throught the Premier League season and they have only picked up six wins in the top flight so far this term.

Their stuttering form has left them languishing doe in 10th place in the Premier League table and 10 points behind fourth placed Chelsea Fc as things stand.

The gunners have some important games coming up as they prepare for their final 13 games of the campaign.

And although the Spanish headcoach admits that Arsenal are well off the possibility of a top four finish this season.

“At the moment we are far from it, but there a lot of games to play, it is very tight.”

Arsenal are currently preparing for their Premier League home clash against Newcastle United at the Emirates this weekend.

The North London side who finished in fifth place and without a trophy under Unai Emery last season, will then switch their focus towards Europa league affairs and their clash against Olympiakos in the last 32.
