We need to catch up with Arsenal and win trophies - Manchester City forward Antoine Semenyo

Manchester City forward, Antoine Semenyo, has admitted that they need to improve and challenge Arsenal to win trophies. 

Pep Guardiola's side has been inconsistent in the ongoing Premier League season. However, after their dramatic win against Liverpool on Sunday at Anfield, City now sit 2nd in the league standings with 50 points, with six points separating them from league leaders Arsenal.

Semenyo would have already had the best goalscoring campaign of his senior career. But that's not enough.

According to him, he has always wanted to play for Manchester City but insists that they must improve to challenge to win titles.

"I always thought, I want to be part of Man City," Semenyo told Sky Sports.

"But the hard work continues. If we want to be as successful as the previous Man City teams have been, we need to catch up with Arsenal now and hopefully win all the other trophies that we're in.

"Obviously, there have been results that haven't gone our way, and there have been a couple of draws here and there.

"The manager said to us before the Newcastle game that we need to have that fire in our bellies again.

"That fire in our bellies is what's going to kick-start a new run for us, and hopefully, us being victorious at the end of the season is the plan," he added.

The 24-year-old has made an immediate impact since his move to Manchester, scoring four goals across all competitions, and will be eager to maintain his scoring run when City welcome Fulham to the Etihad on Tuesday night.
