Wojciech Szczesny says he would welcome added competition for places at Arsenal and has no intention of moving on.

Attitude

On being dropped for a five-game spell from mid-March in 2012/13, only to then bounce back before the end of the season, Szczesny added: "I'm still a young goalkeeper so I'm going to have my ups and downs. "There's not a single goalkeeper in the world that goes through a season without a little dip. You wish that any dip is not long and big but you have to learn how to deal with disappointments and it never really affected my attitude. "You'd hope that I could go through the whole season the way I finished last season, but you cannot go through a season without any mistakes so it's how you deal with it and I think I've learned how to deal with mistakes. I'm hoping there will be less and less with each season. "You can play for a smaller club, make a mistake and no-one will really highlight it but when you play for a big club, whatever you do is going to be in the papers. People are going to question you but it's not really a problem for me."
