The Senegalese striker is realistic about Liverpool's chances and admits that Arsenal are head and shoulders above the chasing pack.

"Arsenal have not become the team they are today just like that," he said. "Two years ago they were at the same level where Liverpool are now.

"People think we have an experienced team but it is in fact very young, even though we have some big names and some very good players.

"We will try to qualify for next season's Champions League. That is our number one aim and I think we can still do it."
