Adebayor: Title target
Emmanuel Adebayor is refusing to give up on Arsenal's title dream despite being 10 points adrift of leaders Liverpool.
The Gunners have struggled for consistency during the first half of the season, recording memorable victories over Chelsea and Manchester United, but suffering five defeats from their opening 20 fixtures.
Arsene Wenger's men are currently fifth in the table, three points adrift of Aston Villa in fourth and with the Rafa Benitez's league leaders sitting pretty at the summit.
But the Togo international insists the Emirates Stadium outfit will continue to battle in a bid to claw back the ground they have lost on their title rivals.
"To try and come back and win the title, we know it is going to be very difficult, we know it is going to be tough," he told Sky Sports News.
"It is tough for us, it is tough for Liverpool, it is tough for Chelsea and it is tough for Manchester United.
"We are 10 points behind, so if we can win three or four games straight away we have a chance to come back. The most important thing is to keep on going.
"We have to keep our dreams alive and keep going. We will do everything to make it possible."
Wenger's men have been drawn to face Roma in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League and Adebayor has set his sights on further progress in Europe.
He added: "We have a chance there. We have a very tough game against Roma but we believe that we can do something."
