Xhaka insists Arsenal are prioritising top four spot over European success

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has said that the Gunners’ main priority remains to secure the top four in the Premier League rather than competing for silverware through the Europa League. The north London side recently picked up a hard-fought 1-0 win over Watford on the road and this has propelled them to the fourth spot above Chelsea on goal difference.

Speaking after the game, Xhaka insisted that the club are keen to remain in the top four for the rest of the season such that they can return to the Champions League next term. He added that the club do have the chance to compete for glory through the Europa League but the league remains the priority at the current point of time.
