Mesut Ozil still believes Arsenal can win Premier League

Mesut Ozil believes that Arsenal can still win the Premier League despite entering the last eight games of the season nine points off the pace.

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil has insisted that the Gunners can still win the Premier League this season.

The North London side are 11 points off the pace of Leicester City, but do have a game in hand on the Foxes as the season enters its final stretch.

Arsenal need Leicester to drop points in their final seven matches and also to catch nearby Tottenham Hotspur above them in second, but Ozil believes that it could happen.

"I do not think it impossible," Ozil told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag when asked about hunting down Leicester and winning the league.

"Although there are only a few games left, Leicester have a run against some of the big teams to come.

"We ourselves must in any case not allow any more slip-ups. The hope of the title is still there - we have the players for the title."

Arsenal last won the Premier League title in 2004.
