Gervinho has claimed that he expects Arsenal to begin winning trophies soon following a season of highs and lows.

Arsene Wenger's side struggled for form in the early stages of the season but have returned to their best during a vital period and are on course to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Ivory Coast international Gervinho now believes that the current squad at the Emirates can begin to bring silverware back to the club.

The 24-year-old told Arsenal Player: "We have had and have been through a lot of difficult times this season. Lots of people have wavered in their belief in us, have said this and that, but we have returned to form.

"We are a group of young lads, we get on really well, but we have got stronger during the tough times and showed the real Arsenal. We are going to try and finish the season well and we are happy with that.

"We are all still young, have got some good players and a good group. We can still win lots of trophies and do great things in the future because we are a good club."

Arsenal are currently third in the Premier League following seven consecutive wins.
