Arsenal legend Martin Keown hopes winning the FA Cup will inspire the team to greater heights next term and beyond.

He believes Arteta winning a trophy in his first half season in charge of the club can set a precedent for the future.

The Gunners want to push up into the top-four next season as well.

Keown told football.london: "We've heard Jurgen Klopp [Liverpool manager] say about the history of that club, when they walk into that club and they see the trophies they've won and the players they've had.

"Arsenal is no different. With the FA Cup, we've almost moved competitions. Consistency wins you Premier League trophies, that's the difference.

"You've only got to win six matches to win an FA Cup but nonetheless you've still got to beat the best teams. The last five winners have all done that.

"There has always been a big history and a big expectation at Arsenal. The minute I walked through the front door the photographs said it all. You're here to win trophies.

"It was a bit of a barren spell in terms of championships but the club was emerging again, through the FA Cup.

"Maybe now he will use it again to win Premier Leagues."
