Nacer Barazite hopes to be pushing for an Arsenal first team call next season.
The Dutch winger told arsenal.com: "Pre-season is definitely my aim now.
"That is my first priority to go to away on tour and I'll give everything to get there.
"I have played in the [Derby] first team all season, I know how that feels now. I can feel that first-team pressure so I'm really looking forward to making the next step into the Arsenal first team.
"I hope to be ready and I think the lessons needed to get in the first-team have now been learned while I was away.
"Obviously I have to show this, I can't just say I am ready, I have to prove it to everyone."
