Bergkamp backs Arsenal for double feat

Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp believes Arsene Wenger's young troops are more than capable of securing not only the Premier League title this season but also the UEFA Champions League.

The "Iceman" enjoyed 11 glorious years with the Gunners where he landed three league crowns and a staggering four FA Cups - cementing his position as one of the greatest foreign imports in Premier League history.

The 40-year-old brought the curtain down on his playing career in 2006 and returned to Holland to become a coach with his former club Ajax.

But the former Highbury hero still keeps an eye on his former side in North London and has reserved special praise for his 'obsessive' former boss Arsene Wenger and his unique footballing philosophy.

"I don't know how Arsene Wenger does it, but he eats and sleeps football and his management style is very hands on. Where he finds the time to do everything, I don't know," he told Goal.com.

"Style and passion coupled with experience is the Arsenal way."


Bergkamp is adamant Arsenal can go that extra mile and win major honours this season following four years without a piece of silverware, but believes a 'few signings' may be needed to realise their ambitions.

"Arsenal's players are enjoying playing and the dressing room is united. They will push hard for the Champions League and the Premier League titles, make no mistake about it. They are capable of winning, why not?,"
he added.

"It is important for people to realise that this Arsenal team has not hit its peak yet, and with a few possible signings in January, they may just surprise Chelsea and Manchester United and the big European teams."
