Arsenal defender Ignasi Miquel is eyeing more minutes in the first team.

The young Spaniard saw action in the Carling Cup this week against Manchester City.

He told arsenal.com: "I'm so happy to see them getting games now and obviously for my next step I will try to be like them and get in there myself.

"I'm really happy for them and that I can be here too. I think the main thing now is to work hard. You learn from your mistakes. I don't think I can do much more.

"If I work and try to see what I've done wrong then I can only improve. It's the only way to grow."
