Arsenal's Arsene Wenger: 'Wojciech Szczesny back to his best'

Wenger: 'Szczesny back to his best'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes that Wojciech Szczesny is back in his best form follow their victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

The Polish goalkeeper made a number of fine saves to help the Gunners to a 1-0 win in the North London derby at the Emirates Stadium.

"He is over the problems he had last season," Wenger told the club's official website. "He had a dip in form, but has come back at the end of the season with good form and a good run, overall for me he is back to his best.

"We forget he is a boy who is only in his third season in the Premier League. He is only 23, for a goalkeeper that is very young. He was third then last season fourth in the Premier League, for such a young goalkeeper, that is not a bad achievement.

"I am sure you will see a great season from Szczesny, and I rate [Lukasz] Fabianski very highly, which is why I think we have two very good goalkeepers."

Szczesny has kept three clean sheets in his last four games for the club.
