The Gunners have slipped off the pace in the Premier League after three matches without a win but the forward isn't looking for any sympathy.

Saka told TNT Sports ahead of Arsenal's Champions League game at Inter Milan on Wednesday (06.11.24) : "I don't want to sit here and make excuses.

"We're really focused on getting back to winning ways starting tomorrow night and [against] Chelsea, so I don't want to dwell on why we haven't been winning games.

"Everyone has their own role in getting the best from themselves. Coming in every day, pushing themselves to give their most for the team, and this club.

"These difficult moments, for me, sometimes you have to appreciate them as much as the good ones.

"We'll learn a lot from this, more than when we're just winning every game – definitely learn a lot about our character as well.

"This could be a stepping stone for us if we can come out of it and learn from it and make sure it doesn't happen again."

The England international doesn't think people should get carried away with the team's poor results and pointed out that they came on strong in the second half of last season as they narrowly missed out on the title to Manchester City.

Saka added: "I think, for me, I always live by the quote: 'It's not what you see, it's what you believe.'

"It's important not to be delusional, but if you actually look at it, we're only in November, so people can say things about us and doubt us, but last year we had a bad run of form and look where we were at the end.

"Still in the title race, still fighting, when we lost the league it was really narrow. Internally, we know what we're capable of.

"I don't want to sit here and feel sorry for ourselves. We did have some bad results - [we] don't want to sit here and talk about decisions that didn't go our way.

"We had some crucial players get injured as well, it affects teams. We can't lie about that but we have to find solutions. That's our job. We're doing our best."
