Wojciech Szczesny drops Arsenal bombshell: I want out

Wojciech Szczesny has dropped the bombshell that he wants out of Arsenal.

The Polish goalkeeper admits he doesn't get along with manager Arsene Wenger, reports the 'Young Guns' website.

Szczesny told Gazeta Wyborcza: "Despite our talks before the season, Arsène Wenger seems to forget he has a goalkeeper named Wojciech Szczesny in the team. He is avoiding me at every occasion.

"Wenger told me to fight for a first-team place, but then he didn't include me in the squad for the Carling Cup game. My friends told me not to worry, that it's a marathon, and not a sprint. But a marathon isn't about running in the same place for three years."

He added: "I'm ready to play at highest level but I need a club that believes in a 20-year-old. In Arsenal there's no such bravery. My main goal is to play for Arsenal, but if there's a move option, we'll have words."
