Arsenal are at the start of a dynasty that will see them dominate football, according to chief executive Richard Garlick.

The Gunners won their first Premier League title for more than 20 years last season before falling just short in the Champions League final.

Garlick told the Men In Blazers Media Network that lifting the league trophy was only the beginning, saying: “There was a moment where we enjoyed it, and you saw that enjoyment.

“We are absolutely saying we’re not done here. This is the start and not the end. We’re at the start of something big. We want to push on and win more and more. It is absolutely trophies plural.

“Our motto is always forward and we need to embrace that. And the staff and the supporters need to realise that we are going to continue pushing forward, we’re not going to sit here and be complacent and we need to drive each other forward so we can continue to win and dominate football in the coming years.”

Arsenal have won their opening two games in the Premier League as they bid to pick up where they left off, and Garlick has his sights on more than just a successful defence.

“I dream of us being serial champions, of us repeating what we did last year and going one better maybe in the Champions League and winning major trophies,” he added.

“This is a period of dominance, you could call it the start of a dynasty, this is what we’re aiming to do, we’re aiming to dominate football for the next few years on every front.”
