英超新賽季註定會換一副模樣，費格遜退休，摩連奴回歸，莫耶斯接手曼聯，比歷連尼頂替了文仙尼。諸強之中，只有雲格堅如磐石，阿仙奴在這個賽季也許會迎來奪冠的最佳時機。兵工廠鐵衛沙格拿在近日接受《每日郵報》採訪時，對阿仙奴新賽季的爭冠以及續約問題都發表了自己的看法。
這名30歲的法國後衛在採訪中肯定了阿仙奴的實力，他認為球隊完全有能力去爭奪冠軍。沙格拿說：「我絕對相信阿仙奴有能力去贏得英超冠軍和其他錦標，我們很強大，可以成為英超聯賽中最好的球隊。」沙格拿放出此番言論的自信源於阿仙奴上季末段近乎瘋狂的搶分表現。在與熱刺的爭四較量中，阿仙奴表現出了驚人的戰鬥力並笑到了最後。談及此，沙格拿說：「我們在最後10輪的比賽里拿到了26個積分，這是極少數球隊能夠做到的，上季最後階段的表現讓我相信我們能夠擊敗任何對手。」
再給雲格一年時間
不過，儘管沙格拿對球隊表示出信心，但是這並不意味著他將肯定會留守阿仙奴。事實上明年合約就將到期的法國人至今仍沒有和球隊完成續約。在接受採訪時，沙格拿坦言這是因為他想奪得冠軍。法國後衛說：「阿仙奴能夠贏得冠軍，如果不能，那麼我也許會選擇離開。我正在和球隊商討續約的問題，但是我會好好評估這一切，畢竟我還有一年的時間來考慮這件事。我現在唯一確定的事情，是我新賽季仍會在阿仙奴踢球。」
沙格拿對於冠軍的渴望是可以理解的。他的昔日兵工廠隊友，拿斯尼、雲佩斯、A.桑治等近年悉數離開阿仙奴，而在新的球隊中，他們全部拿到了冠軍，這讓沙格拿著實眼紅，要知道自2007年加盟兵工廠以來，沙格拿這6年之中都不知道奪冠是什麼滋味，對於一名有好勝心的球員來說，這當然是難以忍受的。在曼城奪冠的那個賽季，沙格拿在接受《隊報》採訪時便說：「看到拿斯尼和基歷治舉起了冠軍獎盃。這令我也很渴望奪冠。他們的離開是正確的嗎？我想是的。」
阿仙奴近年頻繁流失核心球員
另一方面，阿仙奴近年頻繁流失核心球員，這也讓沙格拿心灰意冷，上季在阿仙奴將雲佩斯和A.桑治賣掉時，沙格拿就公開炮轟球隊：「我無法理解，為什麼球隊留不住表現最好的兩球員。」事實上，也是從那時起，沙格拿拒絕與阿仙奴續約。
沙格拿這一表態或許會進一步刺激兵工廠的收購決心，隨著英超諸強頻繁換帥，保持隊內穩定的阿仙奴迎來了奪冠良機，如果對陣容進行補強，他們很有希望在下季脫穎而出。據《每日郵報》報導，阿仙奴收購的重點在於前鋒，其中最有望加盟的是希古恩和賓迪基兩名球員。如果這兩筆交易達成，阿仙奴無疑會立即成為新賽季的奪標熱門。

Saga, 30, is entering into the final season of his current deal at theEmirates Stadium, but is in talks over an extension.
Arsenalwon eight of their final 10
PremierLeague games to overhaul
Tottenhaminto fourth place, which secured another shot at the Champions League with acrucial two-legged qualifier in August.
Manager Arsène Wenger has been promised significant funds to build a squadthis summer capable of mounting a long-overdue sustained title challenge,with Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain and England forward Wayne Rooneylinked as potential marquee signings.
France international Sagna, signed from Auxerre six years ago, has no doubtsArsenal can be contenders again in 2013-14, when they will look to end eightcampaigns without silverware."I truly believe we can be champions or else I wouldn't be playingfootball. I would have gone already. I truly believe we can succeed with theteam we have," Sagna told

"I strongly believe we have the quality to be the best in the PremierLeague.
"Look at the end of last season, when we got 26 points from a possible30. Not a lot of teams can do this and this is what makes me believe we canbeat anyone.
"What we managed last season can be done only by a true team with agreat team spirit. I believe we can achieve a lot more."
Sagna, though, warned his team-mates they must cut out the inconsistencieswhich saw them slump a low as 10th after losing at home to Swansea inDecember.
He added: "On some days we can switch off and lose to anyone and to avoidthis, we need to take things game by game and stay focused from thebeginning to the end.
"There are no major things that we ought to do to continue succeeding.
"I think we just have to stick around as a team, where each one helpsout on the pitch, and stay consistent like we did in the second half of theseason."
Sagna could become a free agent at the end of next season, and has been linkedwith a lucrative Bosman move to both Paris St Germain and Monaco.
However, the France defender indicated there was positive dialogue withArsenal.
"We are still talking [about a new contract]. I never said I wanted toleave the club, but there are some journalists who want to speculate as Ihave just one year to go," Sagna added.
"The fact is that I am still at Arsenal and I am looking forward toplaying next season.
"Arsenal made me grow as a player and as a man. People have been talkingabout me going back to France, but at the moment I am at Arsenal."
The Gunners will host Aston Villa in their opening fixture of the new PremierLeague campaign.
Arsenal will then face the first leg of their Champions League qualifier, forwhich they will be seeded, before heading to Fulham – with the crucialsecond leg of their European tie coming right before the north London derbywith Spurs at the Emirates Stadium.
