Arsenal prioritising top four over trophies, but Cech wants silverware

Petr Cech admits a top-four finish is the priority for Arsenal this season, but he is hoping a Champions League return can be complemented by major silverware.

The veteran goalkeeper is well versed in the art of trophy-collecting, having lifted a number over the course of a distinguished career.

He is looking for another winners’ medal to be delivered in 2018-19, in what could be his final campaign with the Gunners as his contract runs down.

Helping the club to recover from a two-year absence from the European elite is the ultimate goal for all concerned at Emirates Stadium, but FA Cup and Europa League glory remain up for grabs.
