Arsenal newcomer Mikel Arteta believes that his sides failure to secure silverware in recent years will be no burden to the success the North Londoners set to achieve this season.Fresh from his first ever Champions League start, the 29-year-old insists he is ready to play a key part in Arsenal's tilt to its first silverware since 2005.
Arsenal were minutes away from securing three points in their opening Champions League group match last night, however, Borussia Dortmund substitute Ivan Perisic's wonder strike two minutes from time ensured the pressure valve remained tightly screwed.
Arteta's positivity remains a key to Arsenal's resurgence, the Spaniard adamant that the squad will gel and start producing results soon.
"We need to settle as quickly as possible and I try to help the team in the areas I am able to. We have five or six new players coming in and they are going to be an important part of the team." Arteta said, according to the Evening Standard.
The ex-Evertonian is excited at the prospect of winning titles, something that was incomprehensible at his old club.
"The challenge here is to win trophies and at Everton I didn't have the chance to do that. Hopefully, we are going to have it here."
Arsenal return from Germany to tackle Blackburn at Ewood Park on Saturday - Kick off at 12:45 BST.
