Emmanuel Eboue is determined to finally win a trophy for Arsenal this season.
The Ivory Coast international, who has played in defence and midfield this season, believes Arsenal are stronger than they were last year.
He said: "Last year and this year is not the same. This year we are more compatible together, we have got more maturity and more solidarity in our team. If we continue to play like this, together, we can do something this season."
The 26-year-old went on to say that, despite speculation about his future at the club, it would mean a lot to him to repay the faith of his manager and win a trophy with Arsenal.
He said: "I never spoke with someone or said that I wanted to move. I have got two more years with Arsenal and I feel very good here. I want to win something for the club because they have helped me a lot, so I want to win something for them.
"Arsène Wenger, when we have some bad days he is always with us so for me I think he is like our dad here and we are all happy to play for him."
After scoring a good goal from midfield against Porto, he maintained that he is happy to fill any role that is needed of him for Arsenal.
He added: "For me, it doesn't matter. I just want to play, so if I play I am happy. It doesn't matter if Bacary Sagna plays. For me it doesn't matter where I play, if the boss puts me at right back I play, and if he puts me at midfield I'll play.
"Every day the players are laughing about me saying 'Emmanuel you do everything but when you come to the goalkeeper you are scared to score,' so I tried to show them I can score and I'm very, very happy."
