Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal are capable of winning the Premier League and Champions League next season.
The Gunners finished last term without any silverware after suffering a dip in form at a crucial period, winning just one league game between February 23 and April 13 and crashing out of Europe to Liverpool.
But Wenger was encouraged by Arsenal's performances and is hopeful of mounting an even stronger challenge when the new campaign gets going.
"I think we can win everything. We are very, very close," Wenger said in the Daily Express, taken from the Arsenal Season Review DVD.
"Now that the Champions League final has become an FA Cup final (after Manchester United beat Chelsea in Moscow) the team who is very strong in England has a good chance to win the European Cup.
"The Premier League title goes down to one game, won or lost."
Wenger thinks Arsenal were the best attacking force in the Premier League last season and would have finished top had their defence been stronger.
He added: "I believe overall quality, going forward, we were the best team in the League.
"However, Arsenal conceded 10 more goals than the others and that made the difference.
"It's very difficult to take a perspective in what people expected from us at the start of the season, and the fact we are disappointed for not winning the championship.
"We have done beyond expectation, but, as well, we are disappointed beyond expectation as we have not won the championship. But we feel we are very, very close."
