Former Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre says a top six finish should be the team's target this season.
With Arsenal's Prem rivals such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City all spending big this summer, Silvestre thinks it'll be hard for the Gunners to keep up.
In an interview with MyBettingSites, he said: "When a team like Arsenal see the top teams spending a lot of money and bringing in quality players, it will worry them quite a bit.
"They already had a tough task with having to improve from last season and closing the gap.
"But this has made it extremely hard for Mikel Arteta and his team to break into the top six this season.
"That must be their main aim this season – to break back into the top six."
