Posted on 26. Sep, 2008 by Milox in Premiership

Arsenal promising young keeper Wojciech Szcz?sny has revealed that he has agreed a new contract at the Emirates.

The 18-year-old Polish gloveman has spoken of his delighted at inking a new three-year-contract with the Gunners.

“The Club says that the first contract a young player signs is only on the basis of his talent and potential,” Szcz?sny told Polish paper Gazeta Wyborcza.

“ The second, a professional deal, is the choice of Arsène Wenger. The fact I have got this contract gives me hope that I am in their plans for the future. I feel really fine in London, if this was not the case I would have gone elsewhere.

“My plan for the next seven years is to become Arsenal’s number one goalkeeper. Therefore, at this point in time, it doesn’t bother me if I am number 3 or number 4 choice. For me, this contract means that the Club believes in me, and that they do not want me to go anywhere.

“But I would expect that for at least half a year, I will end up being loaned out. It’s necessary for me, because it’s rare that a keeper’ goes straight into the first team from the Reserves. I need to go out and feel the pressure to win.”
