Arsenal whizkid Aaron Ramsey feels he's getting more chances to establish himself this season.

The former Cardiff City midfielder said: "You have to learn and you try a bit harder when faced with that ability. It is a challenge I want.

"I am trying to work my way up the ranks at Arsenal, so let's see where that takes me.

"I have had more chances this season, although people forget that although I did not start that many games last season, I still had 20 first-team appearances.

"That is about the same that I had with Cardiff the previous season. But Arsenal is obviously a much bigger step up and I know I am progressing.

"I have been happy with the chances I have had this season but I want more starts. I must keep improving to put pressure on the manager."
