(Reuters) - Arsenal must aim to score up to 100 goals a season to complement their solid defensive record if they are to compete with the Premier League elites, manager Mikel Arteta said on Friday.

Arsenal have conceded the least goals (seven) in the league so far this season, but Arteta's side have scored nine times in seven games -- second-lowest among the top 10 teams in the competition.
