Aliadiere: Champions League should be Arsenal's next priority

Asked if Champions League glory is becoming the main focus for Arsenal, after scratching their Premier League title itch, ex-Gunners star Aliadiere — speaking in association with BetVictor Online Casino — said he believes it is.

He reflected that last season was all about the Premier League and that winning it would have been enough. "But now we've done that, we're back, we're champions again, I think finally winning that first Champions League trophy will be amazing," he added.

Aliadiere stopped short of saying the league no longer matters, but admitted that if he had to pick a priority for next season he would probably choose the Champions League. "We've been so close in the last couple of seasons. And now this next season, this next one coming, hopefully it'll be the one," he said.

He warned the challenge will be tough, pointing to teams such as Madrid, Barcelona and Munich strengthening over the summer, but reiterated: "If I could, if I had to pick, I'd probably go for the Champions League."
