Twente Still Planning On HUGE Gunners Upset

Switzerland international striker Blaise Kufo is planning one of the biggest Champions League upsets of recent times, by helping Dutch minnows Twente beat Arsenal.

He believes that The Gunners' preparations for the new Premier League season may prove to be a distraction, and he hopes that his side can exploit that weakness to their full potential.

This has lead to a belief in the Twente camp that now may be the best possible time to play Wenger's team, with the sides set to play the first leg of their qualifying tie in Holland tomorrow.

"Playing against Arsenal is never easy but perhaps now is the best time to try and beat them, Kufo told setantasports.com.

“Still they are very accomplished tactically and their game is full of pace so they remain very dangerous.

“I would have preferred a different opponent, someone from Eastern Europe or even Germany but the draw is made and we must approach the game full of optimism.

Nobody doubts that Arsenal are the favourites but that doesn’t mean anything.

“Twente have raised their game to play in the Champions League and we are treating it like a party.

“We must raise our game for the first match at home and make sure we get a good result so that we are travelling to London with possibilities to progress and not just to be a tourist.

“In some ways we are similar to Arsenal. We are a young team with a lot of ambition and it will not be easy to defeat us."
