The Gunners won the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years last term but the German forward is determined to compete for all of the major honours on offer this time around.

Havertz said: "We want all the trophies. That's what we're here for. We've won the Premier League now, but there's a lot more that we can do.

"We have to reach another level to make that happen because we know how long the season is and how hard it is to go through all the competitions. We want to do it better again this year and make things happen again."

Havertz feels that Arsenal will have to go to another level if they are to successfully defend the Premier League title for the first time, particularly with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City spending heavily on new signings.

He said: "I think we can, or we have to go further.

"You see other teams are getting better, so we have to step up another level again. I think that's what we're all here for, that's what we train for. We want to start strong and achieve our goals this season again."

Arsenal have been linked to a move for Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior and manager Mikel Arteta has promised that the club will do more business between now and the transfer window closing next month.

He said after the 4-1 pre-season friendly win over Girona on Saturday (01.08.26): "We are really active, trying to improve and evolve the team. That's clear.

"We expect to have movements in the next few weeks, obviously, because we want to get better like anybody else.

"You can just see the transfer market and our opponents. What we are doing, we won't sit still and we are very ambitious in what we want to do."
