Miquel targets cup glory

by Setanta Staff , 26 January 2012 Gunners youngster targets cup glory

Arsenal youngster Ignasi Miquel has his sights set on an FA Cup win over Aston Villa as he is desperate to play at Wembley.


The Spanish defender admits it is his "dream" to play at Wembley and is eager to see the Gunners reach the FA Cup final this season.

Arsenal host Aston Villa on Sunday and Miquel could feature as boss Arsene Wenger is expected to shuffle his pack, with the Gunners set for a trip to Bolton in the Premier League on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old centre-half has featured regularly in the cup competitions for Arsenal this season and Miquel insists his side will be taking nothing for granted when Villa visit on Sunday.

He told the club's official website: "These games are completely different from the league, so anyone we play will be a hard game. Of course the big teams have a good chance in the FA Cup, but you have to stay focused and make sure you beat who is in front of you.

"It is a dream to play at Wembley in a big final. First, we have to go step by step, but obviously if we can get to Wembley it would be a big, big thing for us.

"We have not won a title for quite long, so it would be great for us. But our next game is on Sunday against Aston Villa and we must focus on that. If we keep working and stay mentally strong we can get through it."
