He does not put a limit on his or the club's ambitions this season

Sergi Darder it seems has not put a limit on his dreams this season. The Espanyol midfielder is very enthusiastic ahead of the new campaign. "We are optimistic and looking forward to having a great season," he said. "We have to try and win the league. We know it will be 99.9 per cent impossible but we have to set out ambitious objectives."

Darder arrived at Espanyol from Lyon last season. He is with his team in the USA where they are taking pre-season training, which ends next Sunday.
