Arsenal star Mesut Ozil is targeting success on all fronts next season but is particularly confident of Premier League glory.
Reflecting on what he described as the "hardest" campaign of his career, the 26-year-old Germany playmaker is sure Arsene Wenger's side can build on their FA Cup success this year by improving both domestically and in Europe.
Ozil said: "We had bad luck with injuries this season, but next season we can win the Premier League and go further in the Champions League.
"The first time in my life I had to deal with a serious injury. It feel it was a consequence of playing a lot games without a break over years," added Ozil, who joined the Gunners for a club-record £42.5m deal in September 2013.
"I was happy with the second half of the season. I wanted to show everybody that I am back. Winning the FA Cup means it was a successful year, so I am proud of that win.
The most important thing is the opinion of my coach. I have a lot more self-confidence when he is with me. I always had that feeling with Arsene Wenger.
"My best moment (of the season) was the first game back after my injury against Stoke (in January). The fans cheered a lot when I was brought on. That was a brilliant feeling and helped me a lot.
"From then on, I understood: no matter what happened, the club and the fans are always with me.
"But the most important thing is the opinion of my coach. I have a lot more self-confidence when he is with me. I always had that feeling with Arsene Wenger."
Arsenal begin preparation for the 2015/2016 campaign by heading to the Far East for July's Barclays Asia Trophy Singapore, where both Everton and Stoke will also feature.
