MATURING DJOUROU TARGETS TROPHIES
Arsenal's young Gunners reckon they can rise to the challenges of next season and fight for top honours.
Full-back Emmanuel Eboue, 23, has been rewarded with a new long-term deal and is one of several youngsters with plenty of first-team experience due to the confidence shown by manager Arsene Wenger.
However, those emerging talents are all too aware they must deliver sooner rather than later.
Swiss defender Johan Djourou is one of several hungry youngsters eager to make their mark.
"I am very proud of my season. I am only 20 and I have played a lot of games in the Premiership," said Djourou, whose progress was hampered by a groin problem.
"That is all good for my experience and I hope I can keep going now, to play even more."
Djourou added: "We have guys like Cesc [Fabregas], Denilson and Justin Hoyte, who have all shown when they have played that they are ready for it.
"Next season we have to take that step further and try to be in there for all the games.
"When you are a young player you want to continue to improve and be first choice."
Wenger remains a staunch supporter of the young players in his squad, having sought to build a team for the future following the club's move to their new Emirates Stadium home and the ongoing financial commitments which came with it. More
