Szczesny in it for the long-haul with Arsenal

Wojciech Szczesny has insisted he will not feel like Arsenal's undisputed number one until he has made 500 appearances for the club.

Szczesny has established himself as Arsene Wenger's first-choice goalkeeper in his first full season at the Emirates Stadium. But the 22-year-old, who will make his 70th Gunners appearance in Saturday's Barclays Premier League game against Chelsea, is taking nothing for granted. He told Arsenal Player: "I'm 22 years old and I don't think I'm an established number one. I still need to prove myself at this club. "I do feel confident, but if we had this conversation in a few years' time and I've played 500 games for this club, I'll feel like I'm an established number one. "I've played 65 games for the club, I think, and there's still a long way for me to go. So I don't feel like a proper number one - I still wear number 13 on my back!"
