Arsenal reserve goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański believes he’s not far from becoming the side’s regular goalkeeper and he’s fighting very hard to achieve that. He said:

I am fighting really hard, and hope the future will be mine. I try to stay positive. I am always working hard in training, preparing myself as best as I can for the games, so we will see what happens. You have to be patient – especially for me, because before I came to Arsenal I was playing regularly as the first-choice goalkeeper at Legia Warsaw. Since I came here, I have had to show that I am ready to fight for my place.

Manuel is being our leader on the pitch and is trying to help the team as much as he can. I think every goalkeeper needs to have that type of personality. You have to have a really, really big character to play in goal anyway – and want to be responsible for the team.

Fabianski was a regular in the side’s Carling Cup team and also in the first match of this campaign’s F.A. Cup.
