Arsenal boss Wenger ready to introduce Ju Young Park to Premier League action

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is now ready to introduce Ju Young Park to Premier League action.

The South Korea captain started his second game for Arsenal on Tuesday night and registered his first goal with a flourish, converting Andrey Arshavin's pass to secure a 2-1 Carling Cup win over Bolton.

"Park arrived on August 31 and now we are at the end of October - that's two months," Wenger told Arsenal Player.

"Thierry Henry started to play in November and arrived earlier, so it takes some time to settle. Park is a quality player, we see that in training, and he is a very intelligent player. That can come out in the game. Overall I believe you will see more and more of Park.

"He personally needed that goal of course but I believe when new players arrive at a club you need that to convince people you deserve to be where you are.

"Many people think that unless you are coming with a massive transfer fee [you cannot succeed easily]. If he had come with a big transfer fee everybody would have been full of what he achieved. He is showing that he is at the level to play for Arsenal Football Club and certainly the goal will help him to gain confidence."
