Wojciech Szczesny commits future to Arsenal

Szczesny: 'I want to stay at Arsenal for life'

Wojciech Szczesny has admitted that he wants to remain an Arsenal player for the rest of his career.

The Polish goalkeeper became a regular starter at the Emirates Stadium last season but insists that there are still areas of his game that he needs to improve.

Szczesny told The People: "My ambition is to get a bigger contract at Arsenal. I admire players like Paul Scholes and Paolo Maldini, the ones that spent their whole career at one club.

"I dream of a similar scenario. I hope that when we sit down to have a chat 14 years from now it will be about my two decades at Arsenal.

"My biggest problem is not enough focus in the games without huge stakes. I can't find the spark in myself. But when the stakes are high, I'm in top gear."

The 22-year-old is expected to start Arsenal's clash with Stoke City this afternoon.
