Arsenal are buzzing right now. William Saliba’s words capture the mood perfectly: this squad isn’t just competing—they’re chasing trophies everywhere they go.
After a strong start to the season, the Gunners are determined to turn promise into silverware, and the sense of purpose around the club is palpable.
Chasing Glory on All Fronts
The Gunners’ calendar is packed. They lead the Premier League, are performing well in the Champions League, and have reached the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
The FA Cup begins next month at Portsmouth, giving the squad a chance to add yet another trophy to their sights.
For Saliba, juggling multiple competitions isn’t a burden—it’s proof of how far Arsenal have come.
Learning From Close Calls
Recent seasons have been frustrating.
Arsenal finished second in the Premier League three years running and fell just short in last year’s Champions League and Carabao Cup campaigns.
Saliba says those experiences have left their mark. The team knows what it takes to compete at the highest level—they just need to turn that knowledge into results.
Ending the Trophy Drought
It’s been a while since Arsenal lifted major silverware.
The last FA Cup win was in 2020, and none of the starters from that final are still at the club.
League glory has eluded them since 2004, European success remains a dream, and the Carabao Cup hasn’t been won since 1993.
The hunger to change that history is evident throughout the squad.
Carabao Cup Semi-Final Looms
A penalty shootout win over Crystal Palace has set up a semi-final against Chelsea next month.
The two-legged tie could be the chance for Arsenal to finally claim a trophy that’s been out of reach for decades, adding even more importance to their packed schedule.
The January Marathon
Eleven games in just 36 days lie ahead, beginning with Brighton this weekend.
Saliba sees this as a sign of success, not pressure.
Competing in every competition shows Arsenal’s strength, but it will demand mental toughness, squad depth, and resilience.
Stay Focused, Celebrate Later
Despite the excitement, Saliba is keeping the team grounded.
Football can change fast, and what matters most are the results at the end.
Patience and focus, he insists, will be key to turning Arsenal’s ambitions into trophies.
What’s Next
The new year will test Arsenal like never before.
Belief is high, opportunities are everywhere, and the pressure is mounting.
The next few months could define a season that has already captured the imagination of fans—and perhaps finally deliver the silverware they’ve been waiting for.
