BACARY SAGNA insists Arsenal are no longer a one Van team.
The Gunners relied heavily on Robin van Persie last season, reaching the Champions League thanks to his 30 league goals.
The Dutchman quit the Emirates to sign for Manchester United last summer for £22million and Arsene Wenger reinvested the money by buying the likes of Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski.
And full-back Sagna, who yesterday revealed he has been unhappy with his own form this term, reckons his manager has more options available to him now.
The Frenchman said: "We relied on Robin a lot last year.
"He was in top form, he used to score in every game and he was our main striker.
"Now we have some diversity. Everyone can score and everyone can be dangerous. It's good for the team.
"I think everyone's settled well. It feels like they've always been here and they can score great goals at any time. Everyone is getting more confident.
"We have a lot of fun and everyone tries to speak English, which is really important. If you want to get stronger as a team, you have to communicate well. Everyone's trying to speak better and better."
Sagna has been impressed with how quickly his club and international team-mate Giroud has adapted to the demands of the Premier League.
He added: "He's totally different. Physically he's very strong and he has a different style.
"We used to play with Robin, who was skilful, and previously with Emmanuel Adebayor, who was tall but skinny. Giroud is a totally different striker and we can use him differently."
