The Poland international believes the
Gunners showed great mental strength
last season despite falling away in the
Premier League title race and sees
plenty of positives
Wojciech Szczesny expects Arsenal to get
stronger under Arsene Wenger, after a
season in which he believes they have
developed well.
Arsenal spent large parts of the season on
top of the Premier League but were unable to
convert that into a title win as Manchester
City finished the campaign as champions.
They did manage to end their nine-year wait
for silverware, though, with the FA Cup and
Szczesny believes there is plenty to be
positive about at the Emirates Stadium.
"We've been fighting and not a lot of people
believed in us at the start of the season," the
goalkeeper told the club's official website.
"But we stuck together and played very well
for most of the season.
"I think the character is one thing you cannot
question with this team. We dropped out of
the title race but I think mentally we showed
some great strengths.
"I think the most positive thing is that there's
a lot of improvement and there is still a lot of
room for [more]."
Szczesny played in 37 matches for Arsenal
last season, keeping 16 clean sheets.
