Sead Kolasinac believes he has an important part to play at Arsenal in their bid for a top four Premier League finish.
The defender has hailed manager Unai Emery's astute summer transfer business and insists the Gunners' strength in depth will pay dividends at the end of the season.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina international told Premier League Productions: 'It (the race for the top four) is pretty wide open. For example, Manchester City lost to Wolves before the international break.
'But we are just going to focus on ourselves and try to work hard to win every game. Who knows what will happen at the end of the season? We are still at the beginning now, but we hope to finish in the top four.
'We have had a solid start and were in third place before the international break, which was our goal for then.
'We need to improve on a few things and we are looking to do that. We are working hard on that.
