Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny admits he wants his career to continue to rise.

The Pole has spent this season on-loan in Italy with Roma.

"The one thing I want to do is make sure I don't stay still... I was quite still for five years – sometimes I played better, sometimes worse, sometimes phenomenal, sometimes rubbish," said Szczesny to the Guardian.

"You take steps forwards and backwards. It is not very good for your head if you go up and down and up and down. I want to try to keep going up, with my quality and with my decisions that I make.

"I am 27, the best I have ever been, I still have room to improve and I want to make sure that room doesn't stay empty. I want to go into that room. It feels like a big moment."
