Arsenal forward Theo Walcott is confident that he and his teammates can challenge for trophies with a fully fit squad.

The North London outfit have been plagued by a number of injuries, but Walcott believes that this current squad are capable of ending the club's eight-year drought for silverware.

"As soon as the players come back there is going to be more competition for places and that's only going to be a good thing for Arsenal," ESPN quotes Walcott as saying. "I think we'll push on and we can definitely challenge [for trophies] this year, for sure."

Walcott's manager Arsene Wenger has claimed today that the Gunners could be Premier League title contenders.
