Wenger: Arsenal can mount title bid

Arsene Wenger feels Arsenal is not far away from becoming a Premier League title contender next season after watching his team beat Hull City.

Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal can kick on next season and mount a serious bid to win the Premier League, after the Gunners stayed on course to finish runners-up in the current campaign by overcoming Hull City 3-1 on Monday.

Arsenal's slim hopes of lifting the title were ended when Chelsea was crowned champion with a win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Wenger's side is level on points with second-placed Manchester City with a game in hand after seeing off Steve Bruce's relegation-threatened Hull at the KC Stadium, with Alexis Sanchez scoring twice and Aaron Ramsey also on target.
