Arsenal boss Wenger admits chatting with Szczesny over form

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits chatting with Wojciech Szczesny over his form this season.

Wenger feels the 24-year-old has continued his improvement but warns the Pole faces a "big fight" to stay number one ahead of Colombian David Ospina, who is currently sidelined by injury, and Emiliano Martinez, the 22-year-old Argentinian who did not look out of place when standing in against Anderlecht.

"One of the problems he had recently (was coming out of his goal), but I don't think it is a deep problem," Wenger said of Szczesny.

"I want him to come out, I encourage him to come out, but overall he is doing well and is improving always.

"Wojciech is (an) important (player), but he is in a big fight with Ospina and Martinez, I think that will keep him on his toes.

"At the moment I think he is doing alright, but he is in a big fight."
